• e-mail

Arsenal came from behind to beat Chelsea on penalties in the Community Shield at Wembley on Sunday. 

Victor Moses gave the Blues the lead shortly after half-time but Pedro was then sent off for a lunging tackle with 10 minutes to go.

New Gunners signing Sead Kolasinac equalised with a header 88 seconds later to force penalties. Chelsea missed twice as Olivier Giroud slotted in for a 4-1 shootout win. Sportsmail's SAMI MOKBEL provides his player ratings.

Arsenal players celebrate after coming out on top in penalties against Chelsea

ARSENAL (3-4-2-1)

Petr Cech - 7

His save from Pedro and timely interceptions proved crucial for Arsenal in the end.

Rob Holding - 6.5

Largely solid but endured a couple of hairy moments in defence. 

Per Mertesacker - 6

Off early following clash of heads with Gary Cahill. Could be a doubt for season-opener against Leicester.

Nacho Monreal - 7

The full back showed his adaptability by playing on the left and enter of Arsenal's three-man defence.

Hector Bellerin - 6.5

His pace caused Chelsea problems. Still looks to be lacking sharpness, though. 

Mohamed Elneny - 7

Plenty of energy in midfield and showed some moments of quality in the engine room. 

Granit Xhaka - 8

Kept things ticking along nicely in the Arsenal midfield before eventually unlocking the Chelsea defence.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - 7

A threat going forward and sound defensively. Arsenal must resolve his contract impasse. 

Danny Welbeck - 7.5

Looking sharp after last season's injury disrupted campaign. Will come as a boost to Arsene Wenger. 

Alex Iwobi - 6.5

His quick feet posed problems for Chelsea. Arsenal need more consistency for the Nigerian this season. 

Alexandre Lacazette - 6.5

Still needs time to bed into this team but showed some promising signs. Denied by the post.

Subs: Kolasinac 7.5 (for Mertesacker); Giroud 6.5 (for Lacazette, 66); Walcott 6.5 (for Iwobi 67); Nelson 6 (for Welbeck 88)

Not used: Ospina, Maitland-Niles, Nelson, Willock

Manager: Arsene Wenger - 7

CHELSEA (3-4-3)

Thibault Courtois - 6

Brilliant save to deny Xhaka's second half piledriver but missed vital penalty in the shootout.

Cesar Azpilicueta - 6.5

Another dependable display from Chelsea's Mr Reliable. Booked. 

David Luiz - 7

A dominant and confident display in the heart of Cheslea's defence. Oozed class. 

Gary Cahill - 7

The new Chelsea captain led by example and played a key role in Moses' opener. 

Victor Moses - 7

Excellent display from the right-wing back and capped it with a Wembley goal.

N'Golo Kante - 7.5

Boundless energy from the France midfielder as he covered every blade of grass…twice. 

Cesc Fabregas - 7

Put abuse from Arsenal fans to one side to produce a confident performance. 

Marcos Alonso - 6

Quietly went about his business on the left before big substituted in the second half. Booked. 

Pedro - 5.5

The masked Spaniard was Chelsea's villain after his red card for a dangerous challenge on Elneny.

Michy Batshuayi - 6

Preferred to record signing Alvaro Morata in the lone striker role but didn't take his chance. 

Willian - 7

Played the pass of the match with an outrageous outside of the boot ball to Morata. Unfortunate to be booked for diving. 

Subs: Morata 5 (for Batshauyi 73); Rudiger 6 (Alonso 79); Musonda 6 (Willian 83)

Not used: Caballero, Christensen, Scott, Boga

Manager: Antonio Conte - 6.5

MOM: Granit Xhaka

Referee - Bobby Madeley - 6
