Arsenal picked up a huge morale
boosting win a week before the new season gets underway, putting on a finishing
master class to beat a virtually full strength Manchester City side 3-1 in
Helsinki.
Goals from Theo Walcott, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud put Arsenal
3-0 to the good before Alvaro Negredo grabbed a consolation goal late in the game.
Arsenal made three changes to the
team that lost against Galatasaray last Sunday in the Emirates Cup with Lukas
Podolski, Jack Wilshere and Laurent Koscielny returning to the starting eleven
as Arsene Wenger put out arguably one of his strongest possible sides with the
exception of Olivier Giroud and Santi Cazorla, both of whom were on the bench
alongside a couple of surprise names in trialist Sebastian Perez and 18 year
old Isaac Hayden. Tomas Rosicky missed the trip to Finland due to a knock he
picked up in the Emirates Cup
