:00:49. > :00:53.Hello and welcome to a sun-drenched Wembley Stadium for the traditional
:00:54. > :00:54.curtain raiser to the English top-flight season, the FA Community
:00:55. > :00:58.Shield. It's the league champions, Chelsea,
:00:59. > :01:01.against the FA Cup holders, Arsenal. And all the proceeds from today
:01:02. > :01:03.will go to the Grenfell Tower disaster fund, and the families
:01:04. > :01:06.of the victims, survivors and the emergency services have
:01:07. > :01:10.all been invited today. On a poignant afternoon,
:01:11. > :01:25.let's join our commentary team It is only 71 days since they were
:01:26. > :01:30.here for the cup final. Yet these two have already met since. Two
:01:31. > :01:34.weeks ago on a bumpy Beijing pitch, a strong Chelsea beat the
:01:35. > :01:39.mix-and-match Arsenal 3-0. This should prove more than a level
:01:40. > :01:43.playing field. Arsenal give a debut to Alexandre Lacazette, signed from
:01:44. > :01:49.Lyon, having been linked with the Gunners were quite some time. Sead
:01:50. > :01:54.Kolasinac is a substitute. It is a team without Aaron Ramsey and Mesut
:01:55. > :01:58.Ozil, nursing injuries. Alexis Sanchez is not up to match fitness
:01:59. > :02:04.and with questions hanging over staying and going when August has
:02:05. > :02:09.passed. Chelsea look familiar. Nemanja Matic is gone and Diego
:02:10. > :02:13.Costa will be going. Pedro is fit despite suffering a facial injury
:02:14. > :02:18.against Arsenal at fortnight ago. Michy Batshuayi scored twice in that
:02:19. > :02:26.game and ended last season strongly. The ?60 million man Alvaro Morata is
:02:27. > :02:32.on the bench. 53 days ago, the whole of the country and in particular
:02:33. > :02:36.London was rocked by the Grenfell Tower tragedy. Indeed, proceeds of
:02:37. > :02:43.today's game will go to support those affected by the fire with the
:02:44. > :02:48.FA and hoping to raise around ?1.25 million. Before take-off, flowers
:02:49. > :02:54.will be laid. We will observe a period of silence to remember the
:02:55. > :03:01.victims of Grenfell Tower. Alongside the FA chairman, Greg Clark, the
:03:02. > :03:02.commander for Tower Hamlets in the London Fire Brigade. They are joined
:03:03. > :03:58.by former Grenfell Tower residents. CHEERING
:03:59. > :04:01.Bobby Madley is the referee with the honour of getting started the first
:04:02. > :04:07.meaningful action for Premier League teams this season. A season that
:04:08. > :04:12.promises to be exciting and might be a little bit different, starting as
:04:13. > :04:17.it does with Arsenal playing Chelsea at the home of Spurs. Wembley will
:04:18. > :04:23.be in the campaign to follow. I have the honour of sitting alongside Mark
:04:24. > :04:27.Lawrenson. All the times I played in this particular game, it is about
:04:28. > :04:33.fitness. Form is immaterial. Winning the game is not the be all and end
:04:34. > :04:37.all. It is about being fit for next weekend. In Arsenal's case, they
:04:38. > :04:43.play on Friday night. They do. Petr Cech is forced to leave his area
:04:44. > :04:50.very quickly. Chelsea are looking to make a quick start to the afternoon.
:04:51. > :04:55.Arsenal begin at home to Leicester City. The following day, Chelsea
:04:56. > :05:00.will begin their title defence against Burnley at Stamford Bridge.
:05:01. > :05:05.I am slightly surprised that Morata is not starting for Chelsea. If you
:05:06. > :05:06.are Conte and you're thinking of playing him next weekend, why would
:05:07. > :05:21.you not play him today? That went behind Batshuayi.
:05:22. > :05:29.Oxlade-Chamberlain can gallop away. He is keen to take on Azpilicueta.
:05:30. > :05:34.He brings in Alex Iwobi nicely. He has gone past David Luiz. Lacazette
:05:35. > :05:39.wants it. It struck some Chelsea players before going behind. And
:05:40. > :05:45.Arsenal bones was the last one. I would be worried if I was Antonio
:05:46. > :05:52.Conte, looking at David Luiz. It was a non-challenge. Pathetic. Chelsea
:05:53. > :05:57.have got away with it. Alexandre Lacazette scored 37 goals in his
:05:58. > :06:03.final season at Lyon. 129 for his home club in total. The deal was
:06:04. > :06:08.worth some within the region of ?53 million. Someone was saying on the
:06:09. > :06:15.radio that Arsene Wenger does not spend money. They got rid of a chunk
:06:16. > :06:21.in one go. You would have to lie down in a darkened room after
:06:22. > :06:25.signing that deal. Antonio Conte would like to dispense more money
:06:26. > :06:29.than he has, even though well in excess of 500 million has left
:06:30. > :06:33.Stamford Bridge. They look thin on the ground considering the
:06:34. > :06:39.competitions they will be end. So many players have been let out on
:06:40. > :06:43.loan to all four corners of Europe. Not only that, the players that have
:06:44. > :06:50.been let out in terms of the Premier League, they can have effects. That
:06:51. > :06:54.is a chance for Welbeck. It was straight at Courtois. They did not
:06:55. > :06:58.get any pace on the header. Those Chelsea players that have gone to
:06:59. > :07:03.the Premier League, they can affect results for Chelsea. I find that
:07:04. > :07:08.strange. I did late Arsene Wenger's Lane to the assembled media this
:07:09. > :07:11.week. He started his press conference by saying, I am sorry
:07:12. > :07:20.that I am still here, tongue firmly in cheek. Great. That ball was
:07:21. > :07:25.always on. Victor Moses is coming in from the right. Mertesacker was well
:07:26. > :07:31.positioned in the middle. I thought he made a mess of that, Iwobi, but
:07:32. > :07:35.it worked out fine. That was a nice turn by Lacazette. Bellerin keeps it
:07:36. > :07:49.in. This is Lacazette. This is Bellerin.
:07:50. > :07:56.Arsenal are not done yet. That will be. There is the first real glimpse
:07:57. > :08:01.of Alexandre Lacazette for Arsenal fans to enjoy at Wembley today. It
:08:02. > :08:05.was a really good move. Nice awareness, Lacazette taking the ball
:08:06. > :08:11.out of his feet, trying to bend it around. Very unlucky. Courtois was
:08:12. > :08:33.not saving it. Into the challenge strongly goes
:08:34. > :08:37.Danny Welbeck. It will be a corner. Arsenal fans will have enjoyed
:08:38. > :08:43.seeing him tackle like that. It was a good tackle.
:08:44. > :08:53.Fabregas. That is not away. It is Cahill. Rob Holding went for it.
:08:54. > :08:57.That is not the way either. Holding went for it and caught when in the
:08:58. > :09:04.face. I think it was accidental. It is a head injury. That is why play
:09:05. > :09:12.has been stopped by Bobby Madley. Oh, dear. He has been caught. Yes,
:09:13. > :09:19.they are both looking at the ball. It is the arm. Yes. Is entitled to
:09:20. > :09:25.use the arm, Cahill, as leveraged to get off the ground. There is no
:09:26. > :09:29.malice in that whatsoever. They are not taking any chances with Per
:09:30. > :09:35.Mertesacker. It is not worth it. His season ended on a high note with the
:09:36. > :09:46.FA Cup final 71 days ago. His Community Shield is ending early.
:09:47. > :09:54.Monreal is now the commander at the back with Mertesacker having left
:09:55. > :09:56.the field. Oxlade-Chamberlain. It did not flow for Arsenal. It was a
:09:57. > :10:13.bit telegraphed. That is a beautiful pass from
:10:14. > :10:19.Willian over to Pedro. Pedro takes an Rob Holding and Petr Cech as
:10:20. > :10:26.well. Marcos Alonso. That was not his first offence. His name will be
:10:27. > :10:33.taken. He can complain, but it is worthless. You knew that Pedro was
:10:34. > :10:38.always going to get his shot away. It was a great ball by Willian. Ben
:10:39. > :10:48.proud took it down beautifully. He is an underrated player. -- Pedro
:10:49. > :11:00.took it down beautifully. Alexis Sanchez is in attendance today.
:11:01. > :11:06.Pedro, half a touch and bang. I am told that officials will be having a
:11:07. > :11:11.clamp-down on managers' behaviour in the technical area. Antonio Conte
:11:12. > :11:15.will have to watch out for that. Cutting down on histrionics and
:11:16. > :11:20.bleating into the era of in the fourth official. Was Willian
:11:21. > :11:26.tripped? Bobby Madley says no, it was a dive. He will give a free kick
:11:27. > :11:34.to Arsenal. He has already got the card out. He was a distance away,
:11:35. > :11:47.Bobby Madley. Who, me? Let's see. He tripped himself. He made sure he
:11:48. > :11:54.went down. There is a knock from Bellerin. It would have been soft,
:11:55. > :11:58.very soft. It was the touch of his own leg that forced onto the floor.
:11:59. > :12:04.He would argue that he was forced off balance by Bellerin. It was a
:12:05. > :12:10.Lucy Bronze moment. It was not as bad as Victor Moses in the cup
:12:11. > :12:19.final. It can be a grey area. You can fall without it necessarily
:12:20. > :12:26.being a dad. -- dive. Oxlade-Chamberlain. Danny Welbeck
:12:27. > :12:33.had to look. David Luiz has to be careful. Very nicely done.
:12:34. > :12:35.Brilliant. It is probably only he who would dare that in that
:12:36. > :12:47.particular situation. Very clever. It is a Arsenal who get the second
:12:48. > :12:52.half started. Further substitutions have been made during the interval,
:12:53. > :12:56.just one change, which was Mertesacker, off with a bloodied
:12:57. > :13:03.nose in the first half and now Kolasinac is on in his place. The
:13:04. > :13:13.second half begins with Chelsea conceded by Kolasinac. -- a Chelsea
:13:14. > :13:23.corner conceded by Kolasinac. Gary Cahill is up. That surely missed the
:13:24. > :13:27.kick. -- Batshuayi missed the kick. Stealing into school is Victor Moses
:13:28. > :13:36.for Chelsea. Redemption for his FA Cup final and he really did steal
:13:37. > :13:37.in. In the same box that he went down without any persuasion just ten
:13:38. > :13:53.weeks ago. Quite simply, he gambled. If you are
:13:54. > :14:00.watching the ball, Granit Xhaka goes up at the edge of the area and he
:14:01. > :14:08.just gambled. That is what you get. Everybody else in the Arsenal
:14:09. > :14:13.defence stood stock still. Took it nicely, Victor Moses. His first goal
:14:14. > :14:17.since last November when he got the winner against Tottenham Hotspur in
:14:18. > :14:20.the Premier League. And there is a bit of feeling in the celebrations
:14:21. > :14:25.bearing in mind what happened to him in the cup final. Yes, as you would
:14:26. > :14:30.expect. They will be back here in two weeks' time, Chelsea as their
:14:31. > :14:31.first away game in the Premier League is against Tottenham.
:14:32. > :14:57.Welbeck. Xhaka. Bellerin. David Louise takes no chances,
:14:58. > :15:02.phrase we never used to say -- David Louise.
:15:03. > :15:29.Elneny was given time to cross, but he did not cross. Well, I think he
:15:30. > :15:33.did, and it turned into a shot but it was well dealt with by Courtois.
:15:34. > :15:41.It was. I'm not convinced it was a shot on goal. It was going in the
:15:42. > :15:54.goal. The Arsenal threat level has risen.
:15:55. > :15:59.Mont Royale will attack on that one. But he never really did -- Mont
:16:00. > :16:14.Royale. Nuisance value there. No, he did not
:16:15. > :16:20.shoot on goal. Just hit across it. That is why he got the wrong effort
:16:21. > :16:25.on it. Save made it look more routine than it was.
:16:26. > :16:55.How tall is he? Six foot four? Six foot three. I don't know how long he
:16:56. > :16:59.has been on now, but Arsenal will just not deliver the ball. Why are
:17:00. > :17:03.you playing him? Get the ball in there, he will cause some damage.
:17:04. > :17:11.Sometimes football can be extremely simple. It was Victor Moses who got
:17:12. > :17:14.back to get it away. What a difference. All of a sudden you have
:17:15. > :17:16.your opposition defenders running toward your own goal. It's a
:17:17. > :17:30.completely different situation. Xhaka was urged to shoot, and he
:17:31. > :17:36.does, and it draws a super save from Thibaut Courtois. It would have been
:17:37. > :17:42.a goal to savour. A sweet strike. It seriously was. He only just got a
:17:43. > :17:48.fingertip to it. The corn in, and the Cauna help. Goal kick, Chelsea.
:17:49. > :17:55.Ball in the box, confusion -- the corner. He hit that at the same time
:17:56. > :17:57.that the Arsenal fans were clearing their throat to shout, shoot! That
:17:58. > :18:14.is a really good save. Has Morata had a kick yet? No. He
:18:15. > :18:23.gets his head to that. That would still be no. Marcus Alonso to the
:18:24. > :18:30.left, but Morata once it on the right. He looks for Morata, who was
:18:31. > :18:35.in. Monreal thought better of it and let it run and it was just too far
:18:36. > :18:37.in front of the striker. It is the pass of the game from Willian.
:18:38. > :19:14.Nobody else spotted it. Great ball. This is a booking. Elneny was caught
:19:15. > :19:18.as he said Giroud. Then it didn't go Arsenal's way, hence the free kick
:19:19. > :19:25.for the Gunners, and Pedro will be treated, then get a card. And
:19:26. > :19:30.rightly so that tackle. Yes, it is a poor tackle. Bureau overstretched in
:19:31. > :19:47.making it. -- Olivier Giroud. Five yellow cards in the FA
:19:48. > :19:51.Community Shield. But it has not been feisty, really. It's been
:19:52. > :19:58.competitive. Oh, hang on. It is a red card. Forget that about five
:19:59. > :20:05.yellow cards, it is for yellow cards and they read. A straight red for
:20:06. > :20:12.Pedro. -- for yellow cards and a red card. That has got the crowd
:20:13. > :20:16.murmuring. Pedro showed a straight red card for catching the Achilles
:20:17. > :20:24.of Mohammed Elneny. But why, Antonio Conte a saying? It was reckless. It
:20:25. > :20:30.was desperate. It was like a forward's challenge. I suppose the
:20:31. > :20:36.phrases, does it endanger the safety of an opponent? I suppose it could.
:20:37. > :20:42.Chelsea are down to ten players, as they were in the FA Cup final ten
:20:43. > :20:46.weeks ago here. Antonio Conte a did not think it was a read.
:20:47. > :20:54.Bobby Madley is one for the dramatics, because he did wait over
:20:55. > :20:59.him a long time. I was going to say, what is he waiting for? It comes
:21:00. > :21:04.from Xhaka, and into the net it goes. Arsenal are level, and their
:21:05. > :21:13.new boy, Kolasinac has come to their rescue. It is a double whammy
:21:14. > :21:17.against Chelsea. Losing Pedro, and then they just stopped defensively.
:21:18. > :21:24.Nobody seemed to move. A game changing minute at Wembley.
:21:25. > :21:32.It is one of those balls into the box that has brought Arsenal their
:21:33. > :21:36.resort -- reward. Exactly. Just as Moses stole a march on Arsenal,
:21:37. > :21:41.there are so many Arsenal players who could have scored the goal. Very
:21:42. > :21:51.unlike Chelsea, defensively. There was a queue. Courtois Brilliant
:21:52. > :21:57.Akiba Granit Xhaka not so long ago, but brilliant there -- brilliant to
:21:58. > :22:01.keep out Granit Xhaka. He looked like he might be a favourite with
:22:02. > :22:06.the Arsenal fans, and now he is. Seven minutes of the 90 to go, no
:22:07. > :22:14.extra time, straight to penalties if level after 90. Morata is down and
:22:15. > :22:18.they free kick. Clever play as well. He knew he was struggling a bit and
:22:19. > :22:28.he held the ball up and just bought his team a free kick. Fabregas will
:22:29. > :22:34.swing it in. Everybody up for Chelsea accept Azpilicueta. He is
:22:35. > :22:43.trying to direct traffic from midway his own half. Fabregas has to find
:22:44. > :22:48.the right ball, and it looks a good one headed wide but it wouldn't have
:22:49. > :22:57.stood anyway. Just as well for Arsenal. A free header. Lovely ball
:22:58. > :23:01.in from Fabregas. Here is Theo Walcott. He turns. What a good
:23:02. > :23:05.challenge that is. Great block from Gary Cahill. That is what they are
:23:06. > :23:13.good at, playing with three centre-backs. Courtois felt a twinge
:23:14. > :23:20.as he made the save. Walcott was in there. Cahill flung himself at it.
:23:21. > :23:27.Rudiger, beaten to it. Chelsea cannot take it any further. Moses
:23:28. > :23:43.did really well and read the danger. Up towards Morata. Another head up
:23:44. > :23:52.one. -- another header one. Given away to Musonda. Fabregas. Kante.
:23:53. > :24:02.The last few seconds of the game, you would think. Five minutes of
:24:03. > :24:07.injury time almost up. Cahill. Somebody is going to have to do
:24:08. > :24:12.shoot soon if the game is to be one before penalties. Rudiger. David
:24:13. > :24:20.Luiz. Not from there, not even him. That will do it for the 90 minutes.
:24:21. > :24:26.It has finished honours even. 1-1. Chelsea in front as soon as the
:24:27. > :24:34.second half started, through Victor Moses. Then with Pedro sent off for
:24:35. > :24:39.a foul on Mohammed Elneny, Arsenal equalised from the resulting free
:24:40. > :24:43.kick. A simple ball in, header from Kolasinac. Now we get ready for a
:24:44. > :24:52.penalty shoot out with a bit of a twist, because the first time, we
:24:53. > :24:58.are going to see the ABBA system. Team one goes first, then team to
:24:59. > :25:02.goes second and third, then after that everyone takes one. A bit like
:25:03. > :25:07.a tennis tie-break. There are, they say. Petr Cech won the toss to
:25:08. > :25:12.decide which and the penalties would be taken. -- fairer, they say. Not
:25:13. > :25:15.surprisingly he has chosen the Arsenal end. That was the damage
:25:16. > :25:19.done to Per Mertesacker which saw him leave the field in the first
:25:20. > :25:27.half. Nasty scar above the right eye.
:25:28. > :25:37.Gary Cahill, having chosen to go first, is going to go first. Captain
:25:38. > :25:45.against Captain. Gary Cahill favours a long, straight runner-up. -- run
:25:46. > :25:51.up. And a blast into the net. One out of one for Chelsea. Good
:25:52. > :25:54.penalty, and good body language as well, wasn't it? Very good.
:25:55. > :26:02.Theo Walcott has not been on the field too long and not had too many
:26:03. > :26:13.touches of the ball. One touch of it is all that matters here.
:26:14. > :26:24.And Theo Walcott scores with the same effortless ease as Cahill. Yes,
:26:25. > :26:29.slightly better I would say. Now Arsenal go again. This is where the
:26:30. > :26:33.penalty system changes slightly from what we have been used to over the
:26:34. > :26:40.years. You should know, you are a ABBA fan. There is a line about the
:26:41. > :26:50.winner takes it all, but I won't. Nacchio Monreal. -- Nacchio Monreal.
:26:51. > :27:01.And Monreal coolly sends Courtois the wrong way. Two out of two for
:27:02. > :27:07.Arsenal, and now two in a row for Chelsea. He just guessed and decided
:27:08. > :27:19.one way. Stepping up, Thibaut Courtois. And he blazes it will --
:27:20. > :27:26.blazes it. That has gone so far over the bar. The gamble fails. That is a
:27:27. > :27:29.poor penalty. Goalkeepers can take penalties and they kick the ball a
:27:30. > :27:36.lot in the game. But that was a goal kick.
:27:37. > :27:47.Two tried to repair the damage for Antonio Conte's please, it is going
:27:48. > :28:01.to be the new boy, Alvaro Morata. It is saved by Petr Cech. -- Conte's
:28:02. > :28:06.Blues. It goes wide of the post. Advantage well and truly Arsenal.
:28:07. > :28:12.That was a scarf. It was nowhere near it. I thought he had got there.
:28:13. > :28:15.It was against the post. Arsenal celebrating like they are nearly
:28:16. > :28:29.there, which they are. They have to make to win a row. Score them both
:28:30. > :28:37.and they win. -- they have two in a row. Oxlade-Chamberlain. He has done
:28:38. > :28:43.it. Again, Courtois went very early. It is a really comfortable penalty
:28:44. > :28:53.in the end. This is to win the FA Community Shield for the Gunners.
:28:54. > :28:54.Olivier Giroud. He has suddenly become very popular with the Arsenal
:28:55. > :29:09.fans. Can he make it a full set? Four
:29:10. > :29:14.outdoor four? Giroud certainly can. It is Arsenal's FA Community Shield.
:29:15. > :29:21.Lifting the shield for the 15th time. As the last time that they won
:29:22. > :29:26.it, the victory has come against Chelsea. I think I am right in
:29:27. > :29:32.saying a goalkeeper did not actually save a penalty. You are absolutely
:29:33. > :29:38.right. Maybe that will be a talking point for Chelsea. Yes, it is the
:29:39. > :29:46.Community Shield, but they are goalkeeper took one ahead of the ?60
:29:47. > :29:52.million new striker. Discuss. 1-1 at full-time, but after penalties,
:29:53. > :29:59.Arsenal have won the shoot out, 4-1. Four outdoor four for the donors.
:30:00. > :30:05.Lennon from three for Chelsea. Disappointment for Thibaut Courtois
:30:06. > :30:08.and company. Arsenal have a trophy. Congratulations. It was a dramatic
:30:09. > :30:14.end to the game. How do you reflect on that? It was a good game. I think
:30:15. > :30:18.both teams showed they are ready to compete and ready for the Premier
:30:19. > :30:22.League. We had some players missing and everybody had to contribute to
:30:23. > :30:28.today's victory. I am pleased with the way that we played, especially
:30:29. > :30:32.when we fell behind and find the composure to play and keep going and
:30:33. > :30:37.find the equaliser. It was very important. I think we showed good
:30:38. > :30:43.composure during the penalty shoot out as well. All of our players did
:30:44. > :30:47.not give a chance to Thibaut Courtois to save. What was going
:30:48. > :30:53.through your mind when you saw a Thibaut Courtois take aspartic? It
:30:54. > :31:02.is not the first time he has taken a penalty. -- sort Thibaut Courtois
:31:03. > :31:06.take a penalty? We were together at Chelsea for the first year. Usually
:31:07. > :31:12.he buries it in the top corner, the way I went. That is why I went that
:31:13. > :31:17.way. I must have put him off. You try to change the corner and put it
:31:18. > :31:21.too high. Bob Wilson will be smiling inside and outside as he hands out
:31:22. > :31:27.-- as he hands out the medals to the Arsenal players. He was one of great
:31:28. > :31:33.distinction. It is a coffee but it does not necessarily set out a mark
:31:34. > :31:37.of how the season will go. As an example, the last time Arsenal won
:31:38. > :31:43.the shield and went on to win the title was way back in 1935. Olivier
:31:44. > :31:48.Giroud, the man who scored the kick to seal it in the end for Arsenal.
:31:49. > :31:55.Per Mertesacker, who has got changed into his suit. He sustained a nasty
:31:56. > :32:01.cut above his right eye. He has gone up to claim the shield in his role
:32:02. > :32:05.as club captain. Koscielny, so than the regular captain on the field, he
:32:06. > :32:11.did not play today, but along with Mertesacker, he will lead the
:32:12. > :32:15.Community Shield for Arsenal. The season is under way with a trophy
:32:16. > :32:20.lifted at Wembley. Will that set the precedent for good times ahead for
:32:21. > :32:23.the Gunners? Congratulations, it is a ninth
:32:24. > :32:29.straight victory for Arsenal at Wembley. What do you take away from
:32:30. > :32:35.that performance today? It was a very team oriented performance in a
:32:36. > :32:38.very strong way. When we had difficult moments, we were well
:32:39. > :32:43.organised. When we were 1-0 down we responded well and kept our nerve.
:32:44. > :32:51.Overall I feel we were unlucky to be 1-0 down. It was a question, do we
:32:52. > :32:56.come back to 1-1 or not? From then on, I thought we looked like we
:32:57. > :33:01.could score. Chelsea played well as well. It was an interesting and very
:33:02. > :33:12.tense game. The game was very tough. Both teams tried to win the game. I
:33:13. > :33:17.think that when we scored the goal, that was a good opportunity to
:33:18. > :33:24.finish the game and to win the game. Instead, there is a free kick, and
:33:25. > :33:29.also a red card for Pedro. I think it changed the game. A couple of
:33:30. > :33:34.controversial incidents. You were talking about the Pedro red card.
:33:35. > :33:39.Was that the right decision, as far as you're concerned? I can tell that
:33:40. > :33:45.we are lucky. In the last two Michael game against Arsenal, in the
:33:46. > :33:48.FA Cup and now in the Community Shield, we finish the game in both
:33:49. > :33:54.cases with ten men. What did you think of Thibaut Courtois stepping
:33:55. > :33:59.up to take a penalty for Chelsea? It is always... If he scores, he will
:34:00. > :34:06.be stronger in goal. You are after. If he misses, it is not the same, he
:34:07. > :34:13.has a bit of guilt. Maybe it can be a handicap. But it can go both ways.
:34:14. > :34:16.The other controversial incident regarding Willian, who was booked
:34:17. > :34:23.for diving. Was that the right decision? I think we were unlucky.
:34:24. > :34:29.We were unlucky. It was very strange. In the last game, and in
:34:30. > :34:38.this game. I can tell that we were unlucky. To receive a yellow card,
:34:39. > :34:45.it makes you a bit angry. What else did you learn from today? That we
:34:46. > :34:52.have to work very hard. Is this quite good enough to retain the
:34:53. > :34:57.title, what do you think? I have already replied to this question.
:34:58. > :35:01.Interesting I so you say to Alexis Sanchez, Mesut Ozil, to get involved
:35:02. > :35:06.with the celebrations. How soon before we see them back in the
:35:07. > :35:09.Arsenal line-up? Players, when you do not play, every player will tell
:35:10. > :35:15.you that you do not feel as much part of it. If we are here today it
:35:16. > :35:23.is because of Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil, a lot. And also Mustafi.
:35:24. > :35:27.I wanted them to be part of it. How soon do you expect Alexis Sanchez to
:35:28. > :35:33.be back in the line-up? As soon as he is fit. He works hard. He is a
:35:34. > :35:40.fantastic guy. I cannot stop all the speculation. But I have come out
:35:41. > :35:45.many times a mad. He is focused to do his job. Just to reiterate, as
:35:46. > :35:51.far as you're concerned, Alexis Sanchez will be at Arsenal after
:35:52. > :35:57.August the 31st? Yes. Arsenal pick up the Community Shield. I am joined
:35:58. > :36:02.by Mark Lawrenson and Chris Sutton. Good to see you. It was clearly sent
:36:03. > :36:06.is entered a penalty shoot out, but other are rather intense 90 minutes
:36:07. > :36:11.for a friendly? Probably more intense than the Community Shield
:36:12. > :36:14.would be. It is still very much a preseason friendly, but it is as
:36:15. > :36:19.close as you can get to a competitive match. I thought the
:36:20. > :36:25.quality was quite good today, apart from some of the penalties. We will
:36:26. > :36:28.talk about that in a second. It was Moses Hougaard Chelsea in front in
:36:29. > :36:33.the second half after being second best in the first period. I thought
:36:34. > :36:36.Arsenal came out and were the better side in the first half. Chelsea came
:36:37. > :36:42.out after half-time and Victor Moses did well with the goal. He gambles
:36:43. > :36:47.were Cahill is going to head the ball. He gets in front of Bellerin.
:36:48. > :36:52.Bad defending from Arsenal. That would have infuriated Arsene Wenger
:36:53. > :36:57.after the first-half showing? Yes, it was such a bad goal to concede
:36:58. > :37:02.early in the second half. Moses gambled and all the Arsenal whack
:37:03. > :37:06.players did like statues. That is the worst thing. When you talk about
:37:07. > :37:11.Arsenal and look forwards towards the season, can they win or get in
:37:12. > :37:15.the top four, there are more questions than answers. Where are
:37:16. > :37:21.the leaders? They do not have any. They went for zonal marking from the
:37:22. > :37:25.coroner. I think it was Xhaka who cleared the ball. They were ball
:37:26. > :37:30.watching. Credit to Moses, but Arsenal were terrible. Page one of
:37:31. > :37:36.the defensive manual, even from back in your day. It was in black and
:37:37. > :37:41.white. Chelsea had the chance to go 2-0 up. Willian was in the penalty
:37:42. > :37:46.area and he went down. This is split opinions. He was given a yellow for
:37:47. > :37:52.diving but you saw it differently. Ridiculous, for him to get a yellow
:37:53. > :37:57.card for diving. It should have been a penalty. There was contact from
:37:58. > :38:02.Bellerin's me onto Willian's left foot. It brought him down. It
:38:03. > :38:07.should've been a penalty. Then he is booked to add insult to injury. I
:38:08. > :38:15.did not think it was a penalty. The striker has gone for it. There was
:38:16. > :38:18.enough contact to derail him. He was exhilarating. That is a good word.
:38:19. > :38:22.No agreement as far as that is concerned. What about the Pedro red
:38:23. > :38:28.card. I get the impression that you will agree it was justifiable? Was
:38:29. > :38:33.it a former's challenge, yes, but was it endangering an opponent? I
:38:34. > :38:38.think Bobby Madley got that spot on. I do not think it matters if it is a
:38:39. > :38:43.former's challenge or a defender's challenge. It is a bad challenge. We
:38:44. > :38:50.could not work out why Bobby Madley was waiting for so long. He was
:38:51. > :38:52.waiting for him to get up. It was a double whammy, giving him the red
:38:53. > :38:57.card when he was lying down. They can have no arguments about that,
:38:58. > :39:03.Chelsea. Kolasinac scored at the death to take it to the penalty
:39:04. > :39:08.shoot out. The Arsenal goal was after the Pedro incident. Chelsea
:39:09. > :39:13.knocked off. As Arsenal knocked off for the Chelsea goal. It was the
:39:14. > :39:16.reverse. And your impressions of Thibaut Courtois stepping up to take
:39:17. > :39:21.a penalty when it had not gone to the sudden death is? There was
:39:22. > :39:26.enough confusion in the stadium with this new ABBA system. It is not that
:39:27. > :39:30.difficult. Some of the footballers were confused. It does not give
:39:31. > :39:35.footballers are good name. You take one, we will take two. That was
:39:36. > :39:41.bizarre, mind the windows with that penalty. I can understand. I wonder
:39:42. > :39:44.why goalkeepers do not take more penalties. We live in a world of
:39:45. > :39:50.statistics. The strike more dead balls than anybody else on the
:39:51. > :39:55.pitch. It was a bad penalty. An interesting take on it from Petr
:39:56. > :39:59.Cech after. He said that when he was at Chelsea, he knew that Thibaut
:40:00. > :40:05.Courtois took a decent penalty. He also knew which way he was going to
:40:06. > :40:09.go. It did not make a difference. Watford high road. I have been told
:40:10. > :40:13.it has just landed. What can the managers take from today? Forget
:40:14. > :40:18.about the result. Chelsea did not look too disappointed that they have
:40:19. > :40:24.lost again. The fact is they drew. It is about being fit for next week.
:40:25. > :40:27.Arsenal play on Friday. In these games, you're looking at your team
:40:28. > :40:33.in relation to the opposition team, about fitness. I just think Chelsea
:40:34. > :40:38.are short on numbers. They have let lots of the young players go out on
:40:39. > :40:42.loan. I think they need to add. In the midfield area, they have
:40:43. > :40:45.Bakayoko to come in. They need strength in depth. They are to meet
:40:46. > :40:52.-- the competing in Europe this season. These sale of Nemanja Matic
:40:53. > :40:58.was strange. This is a precursor to the Premier League season which is
:40:59. > :41:03.only five days away. The whole game will be Phil on five live. It has
:41:04. > :41:08.been a knockout day in the Premier League. One of the most sensational
:41:09. > :41:16.Premier League games in history. A vital goal.
:41:17. > :41:19.This is Daniel Sturridge. Round the goalkeeper and scores for Liverpool.
:41:20. > :41:32.That could be a crucial goal. And the Premier League starts
:41:33. > :41:34.under the Friday night Full commentary of Arsenal
:41:35. > :41:37.against Leicester on 5 Live. Football Focus will have the key
:41:38. > :41:40.action of that match at midday on Saturday,
:41:41. > :41:42.followed by Final Score And then Match Of The Day will have
:41:43. > :41:46.highlights of eight matches, including Chelsea starting
:41:47. > :41:54.the defense of their title. We saw Chelsea in action today. You
:41:55. > :42:00.have already mentioned the looking short in terms of numbers. Are they
:42:01. > :42:04.good enough to retain the title? We know how hard it is for sites to
:42:05. > :42:09.retain the title. Last season they did not have Europe to contend with.
:42:10. > :42:13.This season, an two France, we want Chelsea to be strong in Europe. I do
:42:14. > :42:19.not think they have an strength in depth. They have liked to many
:42:20. > :42:22.players go. I do not think Conte is happy. He did not one Nemanja Matic
:42:23. > :42:27.to go to United. There are questions over whether he has the power. He
:42:28. > :42:32.will be knocking on the door of the chief executive, saying, we lost
:42:33. > :42:37.that game, we need more players. What about Arsenal, a couple of
:42:38. > :42:41.additions, notably Lacazette. He looked sharp. RDC is title
:42:42. > :42:47.contenders? They have a chance. I would not call it serious. We cite
:42:48. > :42:50.in moments today, they like real leadership and until the address
:42:51. > :42:54.that situation I do not think they can win the league. We are always
:42:55. > :42:58.optimistic about Arsenal, every season. I do not see it but I like
:42:59. > :43:03.the look of Lacazette. He looked sharp and will be a good addition.
:43:04. > :43:10.And your tip for the title? Manchester City. They have spent a
:43:11. > :43:13.lot of money. And for you? I agree, Manchester City. I do not think the
:43:14. > :43:20.Pep Guardiola will make the same mistakes as last season. They are
:43:21. > :43:23.the bookies' favourite and they are rarely wrong. Thanks for coming. It
:43:24. > :43:27.got off to a fiery start, the top-flight campaign in the Community
:43:28. > :43:32.Shield today. Is that the sign of things to come with the Premier
:43:33. > :43:34.League campaign around the corner? The first meaningful action for
:43:35. > :43:52.Premier League teams this season. This is Lacazette. Was Willian trip?
:43:53. > :44:02.Victor Moses for Chelsea. -- Willian triped. Pedro has got a red card.
:44:03. > :44:04.Arsenal our level, Sead Kolasinac. Get ready for a penalty shoot out.
:44:05. > :44:06.He blazes it ..this season,
:44:07. > :44:08.the whole game in full It's been a knockout day
:44:09. > :44:11.in the Premier League. The second half, Jermaine,
:44:12. > :44:17.very much...
