Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Arsenal "serious" about trophies

Arsenal midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain insists that the club is "serious" about winning trophies.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has insisted that Arsenal are "serious about winning trophies" after Roy Keane claimed that the side are more interested in "selfies and six-packs".

The former Manchester United captain made the comments ahead of the Community Shield, which the FA Cup holders won 1-0.

The England international, who scored the only goal at Wembley on Sunday, told ESPN: "We're serious about winning trophies. Personally and I can speak for the rest of the squad, we've been serious every single year I've been at the club about winning trophies.

"You can see that on the pitch when we're playing, through the season. A lot of people don't see when we lose and go through tough times how upset and disappointed we are. We've always wanted to win trophies and in the last years we've won a few. This season we want to go that one better.

"We've all been together a good number of years, we've shared two consecutive successes in the FA Cup and we've had the highs and the nice feeling from that. As a team we've suffered some upsets as well and I think we've grown from that and learnt from that."

The victory was Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger's first against a Jose Mourinho side.
