Once again Oxford United has won at Wembley, defeating Newcastle United 2-1 in the Community Shield. Last season’s top scorer Luke Hobbs was the first player to get on the score sheet, and three minutes later Vince Asante added a second. Morgan Schneiderlin clawed one back for Newcastle in the71st minute, it wasn’t enough though, and ultimately it was us that came away with the win.
Newcastle United won the Premier League last season, and it’s therefore very pleasing to beat them; things are looking pretty good for our second season in the Premier League, and we’ve now got a trip to Russia to look forward to in just four days time. FC Khimki is our opponents, and we’ll be bringing them back to the Kassam two weeks later. Hopefully we’ll be able to score an away goal or two, and that will make the home tie a lot less stressful.
It’s nice to have won at Wembley again, and this time we didn’t even need a penalty shoot-out to do it (as was the case in both the FA Cup semi-final and final last season). Hopefully this big win will now help our confidence in Russia, and make sure that we once more coast to victory.
