Arsenal vs. Rangers

3-0, Emirates Cup, Pre-season, Emirates, 2/8 -09
Wilshere 2, 72,
Eduardo 11

Arsenal has finally taken the trophy back, after a year at Hamburg's, it has found it's way back on familiar grounds, back to Emirates.
Wilshere has been radiant during the entire weekend, and recieved both man of the match awards, and who could have thought of a better start towards a season that may be his breakthrough? Well, not to many I can say.
Arsenal looked comfortable throughout the entire game, the central midfield being entirely Spanish with Cesc and Fran Merida, after gaining a 2 goal lead after just eleven minutes, nothing was going to stop them.
After two minutes Wilshere found Fabregas with a lot of space, and when the Spaniard played in to Andrey, who easily slipped the ball back to the young Englishman who scored from 12 yards.

A couple of minutes later Eduardo got his chance, and took it gladly, Merida gave him a nice pass inside the area, and Eduardo, cool as you like, stroke the ball home.
After that Arsenal settled back a bit and just enjoyed the ride for a while, before Wilshere thought he would have a go at it again, with 18 minutes left Aaron Ramsey crossed a ball into the way of Jack Wilshere, who proudly could volley a third home.

And that's how Captain Cesc Fabregas could lift the trophy for Arsenal !
