It's a massive win, as huge as the weight that was on the shoulders of the Gunners before the game, looking at their terrible record against the Blues. However, all this has come to an end at long last! Le Prof clinched his first ever win against Mourinho after failing 13 times. The record reads W1 D6 L7.
What did it take? A stunning curling shot from Oxlade-Chamberlain and a few wonderful saves from Petr Cech at the other end of the field. These were enough to hand the Blues their fifth FA Community Shield defeat in their last 6 attempts to win that prestigious plate.

Arsenal are 2015 FA Community Shield champions!
At the delight of a sea of Arsenal fans at Wembley
However, there is some consolation for supporters of the losing side. History tells that it's been five years since a team that triumphed in the FA Community Shield went on to lift the English Premier League title. The EPL is indeed a trophy that has gone missing in Arsenal's cabinet since 2004 in the days of icon Thierry Henry.
