Arsenal 1-2 Sevilla: Lacazette strikes as hosts win emirates cup dispate defeat

Gunner's new signing Lacazette found the back of the net but his goal was not enough to secure a win for Gunners as Correa and N'Zonzi helped Sevilla beat Arsenal 2-1 at the second day of Emirates Cup. However, Arsene Wenger's side still won the Emirates Cup on goals scored.

Sevilla had the first clear chance after 14 minutes, but Wissam Ben Yedder's effort struck the post after he was slid through on goal by Ever Banega.

With Arsenal employing the back three, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Hector Bellerin pushed forward and the latter blazed the England international's cross over the top from six yards.

Danny Welbeck failed to test David Soria after outpacing Daniel Carrico, while Aaron Ramsey was off target after jinking away from three Sevilla defenders.

Nolito volleyed narrowly wide and Gabriel Mercado pulled an effort off target after robbing Joe Willock on the edge of the Arsenal box as Sevilla's pressing caused Arsene Wenger's men problems

And the Liga side took the lead shortly after half-time, Correa beating Cech with a neat finish after a clever one-two with Ben Yedder.

Lacazette could only pick out substitute goalkeeper Sergio Rico from Aaron Ramsey's first-time lay-off as Arsenal sought an equaliser, but the striker found the net from his next opportunity.

Oxlade-Chamberlain showed pace and strength to burst down the right flank and, although Welbeck mishit his low cross, Lacazette was on hand to tap in at the back post.

That left Sevilla needing two goals to overhaul Arsenal in the table and they got one through N'Zonzi's brilliant effort when a throw-in dummied by Ganso gave the midfielder space to bend in a whipped finish that gave Cech no chance.

But Sevilla failed to add a third and Arsenal's rout of Benfica was enough to secure a second pre-season tournament title for Wenger's side after their previous success at the International Champions Cup.
