Arsenal emphatically thrashed Sevilla 6-0 to the claim the Emirates Cup, as Mikel Arteta's attack continued to show off their talents ahead of the Premier League curtain raiser on Friday.
Marquee signing kept up his scintillating pre-season goal-scoring form with a hat-trick against the Spanish side, as the Gunners found themselves 4-0 ahead inside the opening 20 minutes thanks to a double from both Bukayo Saka and the Brazilian.
Jesus netted his third in the 77th minute before substitute Eddie Nketiah struck late on to complete the 6-0 drubbing and put Arteta in a commanding position ahead of Arsenal's opening Premier League match of the season against Crystal Palace.
Gabriel Jesus could be deadly for Arsenal
Pretty self-explanatory. Grabbed a hat-trick to take his pre-season tally to seven goals in five games.
He came to the Emirates to show off his goal-scoring talents and will soon become a fan favourite if he keeps this up.
Looks rejuvenated under Arteta and could be the final piece of the jigsaw as Arsenal chase top four.
Saka is over Euro 2020 final penalty miss
Saka has firmly put his miss in the Euro 2020 final behind him as he now appears to have taken on the mantra of Arsenal’s penalty taker after the departure of Lacazette.
Scored both of his penalties in the Premier League last season and sent Bono the wrong way with his calm attempt in this game.
The 20-year-old looks like he's ready for another excellent season at the Emirates.
William Saliba should challenge for a starting spot
Saliba started again after also doing so against Chelsea and played a key role in another clean sheet.
Testament that Arteta wanted to play him once again, as he moved Ben White to right-back.
He looked tidy in possession, put in a couple of strong challenges and showed a nice bit of skill under pressure. Looks like he’ll finally play a part this season.
Martin Odegaard is perfect choice for captain
Odegaard confirmed as Arsenal’s captain for the season before the game.
Looks like a natural leader, was at the heart of everything Arsenal did and dictated the play.
Linked up particularly well with Bukayo Saka, playing some nice through balls – one of which led to Saka winning the penalty
Arsenal are strong bets for top four
Arsenal have had a near-perfect pre-season, winning five of their six matches.
Only defeat came behind closed doors against Brentford in midweek when they played a severely weakened team.
The 4-0 win over Sevilla follows their stunning 4-0 win over Chelsea.
Tore Sevilla apart in that nine-minute spell in the first half. Look really dangerous and exciting going forward.
New players are clicking, really positive vibe around the club.
Good bets to end their seven-year hiatus from the top four?
