London (B2B) - Arsenal yang sudah selama sembilan tahun tanpa bisa meraih tropi sebelum memenangi Piala FA pada Mei, kini mengoleksi gelar kedua dalam tiga bulan, ketika tim itu menggilas Manchester City 3-0 pada Community Shield di Wembley, Minggu.
Arsenal dinilai pantas memenangi pertarungan itu melalui gol yang dicetak Santi Cazorla pada menit ke-21, Aaron Ramsey menit ke-42, dan gol ketiga yang dipersembahkan Olivier Giroud satu jam berikutnya, seperti dilansir Yahoo Sports.
Dalam pertandingan itu, Manchester City tidak menurunkan tujuh pemain yang turun di Piala Dunia. Sementara Arsenal tidak diperkuat tiga pemain timnas Jerman, yaitu Mesut Ozil, Per Mertesacker, dan Lukas Podolski.
The Gunners sukses meraih kemenangan sambil menguji tiga pemain debutan, termasuk striker Alexis Sanchez.
London - Arsenal, who went nine years without a trophy before winning the FA Cup in May, collected their second piece of silverware in three months when they crushed champions Manchester City 3-0 in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday.
Arsenal thoroughly deserved their emphatic win in the traditional curtain-raiser to the new English season with goals from Santi Cazorla after 21 minutes, Aaron Ramsey after 42 and a stunning long-range third from Olivier Giroud just past the hour.
City were without seven players who played in the World Cup while Arsenal were missing their three German World Cup winners Mesut Ozil, Per Mertesacker and Lukas Podolski.
But the Gunners, fielding three debutants including 35.0 million pounds ($58.71 million) striker Alexis Sanchez, were far sharper than City who look like they have plenty of work to do before the start of the new Premier League campaign next weekend.
