Arsenal 1-1 Liverpool: Player ratings as Gunners lift Community Shield after penalties

Arsenal lifted silverware at Wembley once again as they beat Liverpool 5-4 on penalties after the Community Shield finished 1-1 after 90 minutes.

The Gunners took the lead in the first half when captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang curled in a stunning effort.

Mikel Arteta's side were worthy of their lead but tired as the game progressed after having just one week of pre-season training to prepare.

Takumi Minamino made pressure count as he slotted in his first ever Liverpool goal when the ball dropped to him in a strong position.

That set up a penalty shoot-out with no side able to find a winner with youngster Rhian Brewster, brought on as a last-minute substitute, hitting the crossbar with Liverpool's third spot kick.

Aubameyang made no mistake as he wrapped up a clean sweep of penalties for Arsenal to give them victory.

Here's how players from both sides rated at Wembley.

Arsenal

Martinez 8 - Big statement to start with Martinez over Leno. Looks a proper No1.

Bellerín 7 - Looks good both as a right and wing back, they must keep him.

Luiz 6 - Surprise starter, looked a bit rusty and passing was rather sloppy.

Holding 7 - On the brink of joining Newcastle, but still did himself justice. Excellent.

Tierney 7- Another excellent display. Adaptable on left side of defence. Solid.

Maitland-Niles 8 - Another statement to start with AMN. Didn’t let anyone down. Determined.

Elneny 6 - Has now started both pre-season friendlies. Did the simple things well.

Xhaka 7 - Looked very strong and composed in midfield, another impressive display.

Saka 7 - Has become Arsenal ’s assist king. Set up the opener. Brilliant decision making.

Aubameyang 7 - Brilliant opening goal, his work rate, add another zero to the contract.

Nketiah 7 - His work rate was phenomenal. Closed down, challenged and was terrific.

Gomez 7 - had his hands full with hard working Nketiah and Aubameyang cutting inside.

Van Dijk 7 - You can hear his every word in an empty stadium. Strong leadership.

Robertson 7 - Terrific raiding runs forward, lovely teasing crosses, what a player.

Fabinho 7 - Marshalled the defence well and then switched into central defence. Adaptable.

Milner 6 - Booked. Wore the captain’s armband. Yellow carded for a foul on Nketiah.

Wijnaldum 7 - Doubts linger over his future, but Liverpool would miss his energy and work rate.

Mane 7 - His movement and pace caused problems, had two efforts blocked by Martinez.

Salah 6 - Not yet into the groove as he looked quiet and struggled to find rhythm.
