Arsenal 3 Manchester City 1 : Goal Highlights

Published 11th August 2013 By @Arsenal_Supremo

Arsenal finished off there Pre Season preparations with an excellent 3 1 win over Manchester City in a sell out in Helsinki. Despite not dominating the play and possession it was Arsenal who took their chances as Theo Walcott struck first with a great chipped goal as Aaron Ramsey provided him an excellent assist to make it 1 0. 

Ramsey then got on the score sheet himself as he rounded the Goalkeeper Joe Hart to make the scoreline 2 0.

The Gunners then showed that they had the killer instinct in front of goal as a beautiful chipped cross into Giroud from Walcott and finished off with a lob from the French striker gave the Arsenal a 3 goal lead. They didn't manage to keep a clean sheet as Negredo scored a consolation goal for Manchester City and the game finished 3 1.

Arsene Wenger Post Match Comments

It was a game of good intensity with two teams who were really putting all the effort on. We had a good tactical discipline. I'm pleased with many aspects of our game, even if there are some points to work on. Overall it's positive tactically [and] attitude-wise. We scored goals, created chances and were always highly focused

I think what is important is the strength of the squad. Today is one game. We want to play 55 games and we are maybe a bit thin squad-wise to go through a whole season.
