Arsenal's first Dubai Super Cup outing against French titans Lyon ended with a routine 3-0 win at the Al-Maktoum Stadium.
The game started as slowly as one might expect considering it comes after a lengthy break while others are away at the World Cup, with Reiss Nelson's effort that struck the post the only meaningful piece of action inside the opening 15 minutes.
However, Arsenal eventually found their rhythm and just four minutes after Nelson's strike the Gunners were in front courtesy of a bullet header from Gabriel Magalhaes following an inviting Martin Odegaard corner. Lyon can hardly consider themselves unfortunate to be a goal down, with Laurent Blanc's men failing to create anything of note.
