Arsene Wenger hails "united" Arsenal performance

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has praised his team for their 'united performance' during Sunday's victory over Manchester City in the Community Shield.

The Gunners saw off the Premier League champions 3-0 at Wembley Stadium thanks to goals from Santi Cazorla, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud.

"Two things were important today: to win a trophy, even though it is not a major one, and to play well and I am very happy because we played some very good football," Wenger is quoted as saying by BBC Sport.

"Overall it was a united team performance. Aaron Ramsey's goal was good and it showed that the belief was there, but what I keep in mind is that it was a real team performance."

Arsenal begin the new Premier League season on Saturday when they welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates Stadium.
