<p>Arsenal won Sunday&#8217;s Community Shield after Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois and Alvaro Morata missed penalties in a shootout at Wembley.</p>
<p>The season curtain-raiser between Premier League champions Chelsea and FA Cup winners Arsenal finished 1-1 after 90 minutes.</p>
<p>An English football first followed as the &#8216;ABBA&#8217; penalty shootout was deployed and the Gunners prevailed 4-1 to extend their winning record at Wembley to nine straight games, including two in penalty shootouts.</p>
<p>The &#8216;ABBA&#8217; system is based on the format used in tennis tie-breaks, with the team taking the first kick in each pair of kicks alternating.</p>
<p>Courtois took Chelsea&#8217;s second kick, seeking to equalise, and blasted over before Morata, the substitute striker, fired wide.</p>
<p>That gave Arsenal the initiative. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored before Olivier Giroud netted the decisive strike.</p>
<p>Arsenal celebrated and Chelsea looked on, just as they had done in May when the Gunners beat them in the FA Cup final.</p>
<p>It had been an even contest.</p>
<p>Victor Moses&#8217; strike one minute into the second half was cancelled out by Sead Kolasinac&#8217;s header eight minutes from time. Both benefited from defensive lapses.</p>
<p>The Gunners&#8217; equaliser came moments after Pedro was sent off for a tackle from behind on Mohamed Elneny and was no less than Arsenal deserved after Alexandre Lacazette hit the post in the first half.</p>
<p>It is seven years since the Community Shield winners last went on to win the Premier League.</p>
<p>Manchester United were the triumphant team then and now Jose Mourinho&#8217;s side and Pep Guardiola&#8217;s Manchester City are seeking to succeed Chelsea as English champions.</p>
