Ok its a friendly, and pre season ,but this performance will give Arsenal supporters renewed belief, and optimism for the coming Premier League season.
Arsenal started the game well with a positive and forceful approach to the game.Fitness levels and confidence looked good in all areas of the pitch.
Arsenals first goal came in the 21st minute courtesy of a finely taken goal by Cazorla. A sweet strike with his magic left foot from the edge of the penalty area.
Arsenal were working very hard off the ball, and Manchester City struggled to get any rhythm into their game. Arsenal supporters were enjoying the day!
After 42 minutes Arsenal increased the lead with a typical Ramsey goal. Some fine work on the edge of the penalty box from Sanogo led to a pass to Ramsey.An excellent first touch by Ramsey created a clear opportunity for himself to slot the ball passed Caballero, the Manchester City goalkeeper. 2-0 to The Arsenal!
Manchester City seemed rocked by being outplayed, and outfought in the first half, and Arsenal were worthy of being 2-0 up at half time.
The second half was much the same. Manchester City did get back into the game with some good passing and movement, but Arsenal defence coped well.
The goal of the game came in the 61st minute with a fine strike from well outside the penalty box from Giroud. A superb left foot strike made the score 3-0 to Arsenal.
A well deserved win for Arsenal, and another trophy makes its way to the Arsenal trophy cabinet.
