Arsenal blew away Sevilla with a devastating first-half performance in Saturdayβs Emirates Cup tie in north London. Bukayo Saka started an early rout from the penalty spot after being fouled by Karim Rekik, before the in-form Gabriel Jesus helped himself to two goals in the space of just 60 seconds.
Saka netted again to make it four goals in just nine minutes after a combination of relentless high pressing and woeful play from LaLigaβs reigning goalkeeper of the year, Yassine Bounou. Sevilla managed to get in at half-time only trailing 4-0, but it should and could have been worse as Mikel Artetaβs side ran riot and created plenty more chances, with Brazilian duo Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli in particular looking electric.
