Iwobi Triumphs as Arsenal Seals Community Shield Victory and Aims for More

Arsenal’s young sensation, Alex Iwobi, is reveling in his team’s triumph in the Community Shield after the Gunners clinched a thrilling 4-1 penalty shootout victory over the defending Premier League champions, Chelsea. The game, held at the iconic Wembley Stadium, concluded in a 1-1 draw after 90 minutes, with Arsenal subsequently sealing the win via spot-kicks.

Iwobi, who has been a shining star for the Super Eagles, expressed his delight at the impressive performance displayed by Arsenal as they gear up for the 2017/18 Premier League season. In a Twitter post, the talented forward shared his joy at beginning the new season with the Community Shield title. Arsenal had concluded the previous season on a high note by defeating Chelsea in the FA Cup final at Wembley, and Iwobi is thrilled to see the 2017/18 campaign commence with a similar flourish.

“Day way…Ended last season with a Cup…Started this season with a Shield …Let’s keep it going,” Iwobi tweeted, encapsulating his optimism for the forthcoming season.

The match saw substitute Sead Kolasinac cancel out Victor Moses’ opening goal for Chelsea, much to the disappointment of the Blues’ fans. In the subsequent penalty shootout, Arsenal’s cool nerves prevailed as they converted all four of their kicks, courtesy of Theo Walcott, Nacho Monreal, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, and Olivier Giroud. Chelsea’s Thibaut Courtois and Alvaro Morata, on the other hand, were left ruing their missed opportunities.

Iwobi’s hope for the season ahead is shared by Arsenal supporters worldwide, who eagerly anticipate the club adding more silverware to its collection in the forthcoming campaign.
