FA Community Shield edit
_(36421484395).jpg)
As winners of the FA Cup in the previous season, Arsenal contested the 2017 FA Community Shield against league champions Chelsea. Victor Moses gave Chelsea the lead after capitalising from a poor Arsenal clearance early in the second half. Arsenal later equalised after Kolašinac scored from a free-kick, it was the Bosnian's first appearance and goal for the club. A penalty shoot-out followed the stalemate, with misses from Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois and Álvaro Morata, Arsenal lifted the trophy.[7]
