Arsenal started their last Emirates cup game this year in the knowledge that a draw against Rangers would be enough to lift the Emirates cup, but a win for Rangers would send the trophy to Scotland. Today's Starting 11 was:
Almunia
Eboue
Gallas
Silvestre
Clichy
Wilshere
Fabregas
Song
Arshavin
Merida
Eduardo
Subs:
Bacary Sagna
Tomas Rosicky
Robin Van Persie
Denilson
Aaron Ramsey
Johan Djourou
Nicklas Bendtner
Armand Traore
Sanchez Watt
Wojciech Szczesny
Arsenal had an amazing start today already scoring in the second minute. A well placed ball in the box from Fabregas allowed Arshavin to flick back his pass to the path of Jack Wilshere who added his first goal of this year's pre season campaign setting arsenal off to a flyer. The pressure was too much for Rangers to handle and yet again they were punished by Arsenal's fluency in attack. Fran Merida found himself in alot of space in the middle of the park and slid a perfect pass to Eduardo at the edge of the box who sidefooted a beautiful shot to the left side of the Rangers goal.
The half was mostly dominated by the gooners after the two goal lead but Rangers looked to threaten from a number of set pieces that Arsenal struggled to deal with. Wilshere again had a chance to add his tally on the 40 minute mark with a cheeky chip that could only be tipped over the bar from Mcgregor. Arsenla will be very happy at the break.
