Arsenal secured their third consecutive Emirates Cup title with a commanding 2-0 victory over Lyon in North London, marking their eighth triumph in the tournament’s history.
In the 13th edition of the summer competition, Arsenal dominated a Lyon team that had seen a resurgence under Pierre Sage last season but struggled without former Gunner Alexandre Lacazette, who was away on Olympic duty. Mikel Arteta’s side quickly took control, heading into halftime with a two-goal advantage thanks to headers from William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes, both set up by pinpoint corners from Declan Rice.
