Arsenal 2-0 Lazio: How it happened

Reiss Nelson and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang found the net as we ended our pre-season programme with a win in Sweden.

It was Nelson, still just 18, who broke the deadlock with a close-range finish after Alex Iwobi’s shot had bounced off the far post.

Calum Chambers deserves an honourable mention too. It was his assertive run out of defence and precise pass to Nelson that opened up Lazio and allowed the eventual goalscorer to find Iwobi in space on the left.

Nelson scores the opener against Lazio

Aubameyang came on at half-time and doubled our lead after Matteo Guendouzi had bulldozed his way into the box under severe pressure and found Alex Lacazette.
