ARSENAL CLINCH SHIELD IN FINAL SHOOTOUT

LONDON: Pierre-emerick Aubameyang clinched the Community Shield for Arsenal with his penalty securing a 5-4 shootout victory over Liverpool on Saturday in the curtain-raiser to a season that is beginning late and without fans due to the pandemic. The game was settled on penalties at Wembley Stadium after Takumi Minamino’s first goal for Liverpool in the 73rd minute cancelled out Aubameyang’s early opener.
