Alex Iwobi Shines in Arsenal 5-1 Win Over PSG

By Admin Super Eagles forward Alex Iwobi got Unai Emery's nod to start for Arsenal in a pre-season friendly game against Paris Saint-German. Iwobi in his usual no 17 jersey shone as Mesut Ozil deservedly showed he could lead Arsenal to glory days with captain band on his arm. A youthful Paris Saint-Germain side were on Saturday hammered 5-1 by Arsenal in the International Champions Cup in Singapore, with Alexandre Lacazette scoring two goals. Arsenal’s captain of the day was the embattled Mesut Ozil who opened the floodgate on his first pre-season appearance after 13 minutes. The Gunners wasted chances to add to their lead and were pegged back when Christopher Nkunku converted a penalty on the hour mark for PSG, who were missing most of their first-team regulars. However, Arsenal finished with a flourish as substitute Lacazette scored twice in four minutes before late goals from Rob Holding and Eddie Nketiah. While new Arsenal manager Unai Emery might not read too much into the scoreline, there were encouraging signs as the Gunners build up to their Premier League opener against Manchester City on August 12.
