Community Shield: Arsenal player ratings, with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Petr Cech impressing

ST) Theo Walcott, 6

Showed what he can do in the central striker’s role at the back end of last season, but looked like he was still learning the trade here.

SUB) Olivier Giroud, 6

Did nothing special in the 25 minutes he was given on the pitch.

SUB) Mikel Arteta, 5

Again, didn’t add much when on the pitch, except for almost getting in to a fight with Falcao.

SUB) Kieran Gibbs, 5

Didn’t have enough time to make an impact.
