...Arsenal earned the first bragging rights of the season as they cruised past a lacklustre Manchester City side in the Community Shield at Wembley.
Santi Cazorla opened the scoring on 21 minutes with a neat turn and finish from the edge of the area before Aaron Ramsey latched onto a loose ball after some good work by Yaya Sanogo to lash home from close range.
Olivier Giroud all but confirmed the result when he curled in a delicious finish from 25 yards midway through the second half.
City had chances to get back into it late on, with David Silva and Stevan Jovetic forcing good saves from Wojciech Szczesny, but they couldn’t break through and Arsenal lifted the Community Shield for the first time since 2004.
