Arsenal concluded their preseason with a 2-0 victory over Lyon in the Emirates Cup, securing the trophy for the eighth time. Goals from defenders William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães came from set pieces, showcasing Arsenal's strength in this area. Despite a solid performance, concerns lingered among fans about the team's finishing ability, particularly from forwards like Bukayo Saka, who missed a key opportunity. Declan Rice was highlighted for his impressive contributions, especially in tight spaces and set-piece situations, providing two assists. Overall, the Gunners appear ready for the upcoming Premier League season, but discussions about the need for additional striker support continue. Manager Mikel Arteta's side aims to compete fiercely for the title once again.
