The Gunners took a big step towards winning the Emirates Cup for the first time since 2010 by hammering the Ligue 1 runners-up, with Arsene Wenger's men running riot.
LONDON -- Arsenal stepped up its preseason preparations with a blistering 6-0 victory over Lyon in the Emirates Cup on Saturday, wiping the floor with its French opponent in stunning style.
Both sides named strong lineups, though Gunners fans will have to wait until Sunday for Petr Cech’s home debut, and, after a slow start, it was the hosts who broke the deadlock and then seized control.
