Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool (5-4 pens): Post Match Analysis || Aubameyang secures Community Shield win 🏆🏆

Arsenal overcame Premier League champions Liverpool on penalties to secure the Community Shield after a 1-1 draw at an overcast Wembley.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put the Gunners in front with a brilliant finish following a sweeping move to give Mikel Arteta's FA Cup holders the lead after just 12 minutes
But Liverpool dominated the second period and deservedly levelled when substitute Takumi Minamino slotted his first goal since his January move from Red Bull Salzburg (73) to send the game to penalties.
Arsenal win the Community Shield! Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang nets decisive penalty in Wembley shootout after Liverpool starlet Rhian Brewster missed to hand Mikel Arteta another trophy
But after outwitting Pep Guardiola’s Manchester CIty and Frank Lampard’s Chelsea to win the FA Cup, the Gunner outplayed runaway Premier League champions Liverpool.
It was appropriate that captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the spot-kick that sealed the second trophy of the Arteta regime.
His excellent goal in the first half - his fifth in three games in six weeks at this venue - was good enough to win any game.
But the whole Arsenal team deserved this victory for a disciplined, intelligent and ultimately nerveless performance.

Liverpool missed the quality and energy of injured pair Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson from their first-choice team
But against similarly under-strength opposition, they were second best all over the pitch for most of the match. The only positive was a first goal in English football for substitute Takumi Minamino.
To lose once to an Arsenal team in transition may be regarded as a misfortune. Twice, looks like carelessness.
Although of course, it was uncharacteristic carelessness by Alisson Becker and Virgil Van Dijk that had gifted the Gunners their league victory way back in, er, July. This time the Reds were out-thought and outplayed.
Liverpool could have been forgiven for losing intensity after the Holy Grail was secured with seven games to go.
But if Jurgen Klopp was being earnest about the importance of the Community Shield, this was an opportunity for his team to show they had regained their edge and were fully focused on a first title defence for 30 years.
They started well enough and had the ball in the net inside seven minutes, with Virgil Van Dijk’s effort ruled out for offside.
Some decent pressing led to early Arsenal errors and James Milner should have done better than head the ball over the bar from a Neco Williams cross.
But any Liverpool fans who were nervous about the young full back lining up against goal machine Aubameyang had their fears confirmed immediately after the chance had gone begging at the other end.
Bukayo Saka’s diagonal ball left Williams isolated against the Arsenal captain and he failed to close down quickly enough. Aubameyang cut inside and sent a shot curling sumptuously inside the far post.
He celebrated with a gesture paying tribute to Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, whose death had been announced overnight.
