Arsenal thrash Sevilla 6-0 in preseason to win Emirates Cup

Arsenal finished off their preseason campaign with a crushing 6-0 victory against La Liga side, Sevilla, in the Emirates Cup final in North London.

With no fewer than four goals inside the opening 20 minutes, Mikel Arteta’s hosts ran wild as the Gunners made it their sixth win in six games in front of their home crowd. It started with Bukayo Saka’s early penalty before Gabriel Jesus scored twice and the England star added his second to make it 4-0 before halftime.

After the break, the home team attempted to continue where they had left off. Another poacher’s goal from Jesus scored him a hattrick, and substitute Eddie Nketiah sealed the victory in the closing minutes of regulation

Jesus decided to go from Manchester to London this summer in his switch from English Premier League champions Man City to Arsenal, and he has had a great start to life as an Arsenal player.

A hattrick on his home debut highlights why the Gunners pushed to bring him to the Emirates Stadium. Seven goals in five preseason games show his readiness for the 2022/2023 season, which for the Gunners begins on Friday, August 5, when they take on Crystal Palace at 8pm.
