The Emirates Cup

Arsenal vs. Boca Juniors
2-2, Emirates Stadium, 30/7 -11
van Persie 29,
Ramsey 46

Didn't get to see any of the games as I was in Spain with a friend during the tournament. Have seen the highlights though, and Gervinho seem to be linking up nice with van Persie, as he provided a great assist for the first goal. Just after half time Ramsey scored through a great strike but we didn't manage to keep things tight and in the end the game finished all square.

Arsenal vs. New York Red Bulls
1-1, Emirates Stadium, 31/7 -11
van Persie 42

Thierry Henry started the game for NY Red Bulls, and recieved a warm welcome. He was highly involved in the equalizer that they produced in the final minutes through an unfortunate own goal by Bartley. It was van Persie, however, who started the scoring when he scored a header in the first half. Once again we didn't quite manage to hold on to the lead and therefore Henry got to lift the trophy at the Emirates for New York Red Bulls.

Injury Update;
-Both Wilshere and Walcott picked up injuries, but both are expected to be better in a some days time.
-Fabregas is back in training but didn't feature in the tournament, partly due to the Barcelona situation.
