(Arsenal-Liverpool 1-1, 5-4 on penalties) Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (31) scored on Arsenal’s final penalty and became a Community Shield hero. But he will not reveal whether he signs a new contract.
Previously, Aubameyang had also scored in the match. He has five goals in his last three Wembley appearances (FA Cup semi-final, FA Cup final and Community Shield). Six goals if you include the one that came in the penalty shootout.
Later, however, he did not reveal whether he will sign a new contract with Arsenal:
– We’ll see. Today we take the trophy. We are improving. It’s still a job to do, but it’s fun being an Arsenal player now, Aubameyang told BT Sport.

But it had been just over 70 minutes when Takumi Minamino tied for Liverpool. The target WAS checked, but there was never any doubt that it was correct. He received the ball from an Arsenal defender and put the ball into the goal from close range.
Soon after, Sadio Mane came close to giving Liverpool a 2-1 lead, but goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez came out and saved.
Liverpool went ahead but failed to score the winning goal and after just over 90 minutes of play, they were ready for the penalty shoot-out.
Arsenal beat Liverpool 2-1 at the Emirates this summer. They were looking to win two games in a row against Liverpool for the first time since September 2012.

Arsenal lined up for Saturday’s game with just a couple of training sessions since the short break.
This was the fourth time these two teams have met in the Community Shield match. Liverpool won at Wembley in 1979 and 1989, while Arsenal won at Cardiff in 2002.
Both Arsenal and Liverpool have 24 Community Shield games behind them. Arsenal now have 16 trophies, the previous one coming in 2017. Liverpool have 15 wins, the most recent in 2006.
Community Shield thus ranks between last season’s league and cup champions. In 2019-20, Liverpool claimed their first league title in 30 years. Arsenal won the FA Cup final for the fourteenth time, which is a record.
Liverpool open the series against Leeds on September 12.
