ARSENAL BEAT PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN AT INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONS CUP

Arsenal secured a comfortable International Champions Cup win over Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday. Captained by Mesut Ozil, the Gunners named more experienced players in the line-up compared to their opponent.

Ozil gave the Gunners the lead in his first appearance of the pre-season. However, it was cancelled out when Sead Kolasinac fouled Timothy Weah, and Christopher Nkunku scored the equaliser for the inexperienced French side. Alexandre Lacazette struck twice within four minutes to put Arsenal in control again. Then Rob Holding scored with a header from 18 yards and Eddie Nketiah added gloss to the victory.

It was an exciting pre season match for the fans as Arsenal had named a far stronger side than Thomas Tuchel’s PSG, who had only four senior players in a line-up that included 40-year-old summer signing Gianluigi Buffon.
