Arsenal 6-0 Sevilla – 3 talking points as Gunners hit Sevilla for six

Arsenal beat Sevilla 6-0 in the Emirates Cup final with Gabriel Jesus again the star with three goals.

If this is what we, as Arsenal fans, can look forward to this season, sign me up. On a sun-soaked Emirates, the Gunners blew their Spanish opponents out of the water in a devastating nine-minute spell that yielded four goals.

Gabriel Jesus netted his first hat trick for the club, Bukayo Saka scored a neat brace, and Eddie Nketiah scored yet again to complete the rout.

The win caps off an excellent preseason for Mikel Arteta’s side as attention now turns to Crystal Palace next week in the opening Premier League game at Selhurst Park.

The game provided plenty of talking points; here they are.

Gabriel Jesus is on another level

Something that we already knew, right? The Brazilian has been nearly unplayable since swapping Manchester for London, and on Saturday, he was at his brilliant best.

The Gunners’ number nine was in everything. His link-up with Martin Odegaard, Bukayo Saka, and Gabriel Martinelli had Sevilla in fits. He dropped deep to get on the ball and then sprung forward to get involved with the Arsenal attack.

His three goals were all well taken as he continued his hot streak in front of goal. Two of which were classic poachers finishes, while another he was stretching from a Gabriel Martinelli pass and cushioned it perfectly first time and into the net.

Much has been made of his arrival, and it is clear that he has brought Arsenal up a level and completely transformed the Gunners’ attack.
