Wilshere double wins Arsenal Emirates Cup


Arsenal were worthy winners of the Emirates Cup, beating Rangers convincingly at the Emirates Stadium.


Arsenal went into the game knowing a draw was enough to win the tournament, while Rangers needed to defeat the Gunners to secure the trophy.


Arsene Wenger's side weren't tempted to take a defensive approach and dominated the game from the offset, with Arsenal leading by two goals after ten minutes. They naturally eased up after this point but still monopolised possession, creating chances effortlessly in both halves.


Rangers showed more fight in the second half, creating a few good opportunities, but the Gunners were too strong and extended their lead further to roll out 3-0 winners.


Jack Wilshere opened the scoring after 90seconds as Arsenal tore through the packed Rangers defence. Andrey Arshavin played the ball across the field, Wilshere left it for Cesc Fabregas who picked the ball in the right of the penalty area.
