We intensified our Premier League resumption preparations with a resounding victory over Lyon in Ligue 1 in Dubai.
The first-team regulars stormed to a 3-0 halftime lead before a slew of academy players helped seal the victory. With the competitive action returning in less than two weeks, Mikel Arteta used nearly all of his traveling squad.
The difference was made by Gabriel’s header, Eddie Nketiah’s first-time strike, and Fabio Vieira’s long-range shot, but we could have had many more after striking the woodwork three times during a strong run in the Dubai Super Cup.
