First-half

Kick-off: Arsenal

8 Goal Drogba shows both power and a delicate touch to burst in front of Senderos onto del Horno’s lofted pass from deep before chesting down and calmly flicking over Lehmann.

19 Foul Drogba is brought down from behind as Chelsea break into the Arsenal half by Cole who is lucky not to be booked. Seconds before the referee waved play on despite Arsenal appeals after Terry collided with Pires. The temperature of the game raises a few degrees.

25 Bookings Makelele and Fabregas are the first players disciplined after squaring up following an attempt by Makelele to retrieve the ball from the prostrate Fabregas. He believing it to be a Chelsea free-kick. In fact the kick was awarded Arsenal’s way.

37 Save Cech, who has been largely a spectator, is sharp down to his left to push behind a Touré low shot. Henry had made the incision in the Chelsea defence.

Stoppage time: 2 mins.



Half-time: Arsenal 0 Chelsea 1



Second-half
Substitutions Van Persie for Bergkamp, Hleb for Pires, Gilberto for Flamini.

Kick-off: Chelsea.

57 Goal Drogba shows great persistence to hold off the challenge of Senderos, evade Lehmann’s grab, beat Lauren in the tackle before swivelling and firing in. Terry won the ball initially, Gudjohnsen flicking Lampard’s pass onto Drogba.

59 Substitutions Crespo for Drogba, Tiago for Gudjohnsen.

61 Offside Makelele of all people is flagged when caught overlapping on the right wing to receive Robben’s pass. Chelsea are being caught offside a lot.

62 Foul Lampard has a late foul on the halfway line award to him seconds after his pass looked to have sent Robben clean through. The decision not to play the advantage is a poor one.

64 Goal Fabregas slides in Ljungberg’s low lay-back from the right, Tiago failing to cut out the ball in.

69 Substitution Wright-Phillips for Robben.

72 Substitutions Reyes for Ljungberg, Cygan for Senderos.

74 Substitution Cole for Duff.

78 Substitution Hoyte for Lauren.

82 Booked Lampard fouls van Persie.

87 Shot Lampard drives straight at Lehmann from 25 yards but the Arsenal keeper can only beat the shot back out into the danger zone where Cygan clears.

87 Save Cech drops on Henry’s medium paced low shot after a rapid Arsenal break.

Comment: Drogba is given the nod over Crespo in what looks to be Mourinho’s toughest selection decision. Gallas is restored as Terry’s partner in defence and those two plus Makelele just in front have outstanding games. Drogba looks back to his form of early last season as Chelsea, although not dominating possession, look controlled in a way rarely seen against Arsenal in recent times. The win consolidates a growing unbeaten run of five games unbeaten against our London rivals. The Community Shield is Mourinho’s third Chelsea trophy in just over a year and for the club, it is the third time we have lifted this piece of silverware. notas_de_prensa_archivo
