Arsenal crushed Olympique Lyon in their first match of the 2015 Emirates Cup, winning 6-0 to take the lead in the pre-season tournament's standings from Villarreal. With one point awarded for every goal scored, the Gunners are now the obvious favourites to win the tournament, with just one match against Wolfsburg remaining.
Olivier Giroud, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alex Iwobi and Aaron Ramsey all scored in a 10-minute span during the first half, while Mesut Ozil and Santi Cazorla added a fifth and sixth goal after half-time. Arsenal were deadly on the counter attack, and Lyon's defence did its very best to make life easy on the hosts.
