Arsenal Wins 2017 Emirates Cup Despite Loss to Sevilla

Arsenal won the 2017 Emirates Cup despite losing 2-1 to La Liga side Sevilla at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Summer signing Alexandre Lacazette scored his first home goal for the Gunners, but Joaquin Correa and Steven N'Zonzi found the net for Sevilla.

Even so, Arsenal still claimed the pre-season trophy by virtue of goals scored thanks largely to their 5-2 win over Benfica on Saturday.

Both managers started their main summer signings up front, with Arsenal chief Arsene Wenger including Lacazette while new Sevilla boss Eduardo Berizzo deployed former Celta Vigo and Manchester City forward Nolito.
