Arsenal vs. Chelsea 2015 FA Community Shield: Oxlade-Chamberlain leads Gunners to 1-0 win.

Arsenal are the FA Community Shield winners and Arsene Wenger has finally gotten one over on Jose Mourinho, as his Gunners beat Chelsea, 1-0, thanks to a gorgeous goal from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

In a match intended for spectacle and glory, we didn’t really see a ton of it -- Chelsea were a bit more pragmatic than normal, seemingly wanting to avoid injuries to key players in a relatively meaningless match, and Arsenal looking a little rusty and discombobulated with an ineffective Theo Walcott at striker. There was plenty of action, but by and large much of it wasn’t terribly effective.

That’s a rocket finish, hit on a rope to beat an excellent shot-stopper in Thibaut Courtouis to the top corner. Is this a sign of things to come for the Ox?

The lineups are in for the FA Community Shield in England between Arsenal and Chelsea, and the defending Premier League champions will be missing one major piece.

Diego Costa is out for Chelsea with what Jose Mourinho is describing as a “discomfort in his hamstring.” Given Costa’s hamstring issues over the past few seasons, treating that with caution is a wise move -- after all, why risk the long-term health of your best striker in a match that’s essentially a friendly?

The FA Community Shiled is a match of mixed standing and opinion among Premier League fans, but in a local rivalry match like Arsenal versus Chelsea, you can guarantee one thing -- these teams won’t want to lose to one another.

That should add to the excitement and spectacle of England’s curtain-raiser, and a match like this -- with the spectacle and the rivalry and the importance of these two teams in England -- lends us an excellent chance to see how the clubs and specific players in the teams are faring in their preparations for the season to come.

Those in the United States can catch the game online at Fox Sports Go -- as long as your TV provider grants you access to the service -- or via the online-only subscription service Fox Soccer 2Go. Canadians can find the game on Sportsnet World Now, while BT Sport have the action for those in the United Kingdom. There are certainly no excuses for missing out on the action.
