Arsenal showed no signs of rustiness as they cruised to a 3-0 win over Lyon in the Dubai Super Cup. Almost a month after the Gunners beat Wolves in their final Premier League match before club football went on a break for the World Cup, Mikel Arteta’s side looked as sharp as ever in their first of two matches in Dubai.
Goals from Gabriel, Eddie Nketiah and Fabio Vieira put the Gunners in complete control heading into the break, and that proved to be more than enough for victory. A penalty shootout took place after the match with an extra point on offer, and Karl Hein, with his four saves, was the only one to come out with real credit as the Gunners won 2-1 following a really poor set of spot-kicks.
Arsenal face AC Milan next week, before returning to London to play Juventus in a final friendly before the resumption of the Premier League.
