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.
