Arsenal thrashed Benfica in their opening Emirates Cup game in what was the most enjoyable game of pre-season so far.
A one-sided affair in the end, deflections helped the Portuguese give Arsenal a few problems but they overcame them in style to run out 5-2 winners.
So how did the players do?
Subs
Mohamed Elneny 6
On earlier than he would have expected for the injured Coquelin, he was probably relieved to be back in midfield. He was just, well, Elneny.
Calum Chambers 6
On at the start of the second when the defence was a lot better behaved than it was in the first half. Sloppy at times, but no worse than Mertesacker or Holding.
Aaron Ramsey 6
Didn’t really have much to do or time to do it.
Mesut Ozil 6
Ditto.
Nacho Monreal 6
Ditto.
Alex Oxalde-Chamberlain 5
Not sure he touched the ball.
Alexandre Lacazette 7
As expected, received a huge cheer when he was brought on with 17 minutes to go.
Managed to get involved more than all the other late subs combined.
