End of match

  • 91'
    Arsenal 1-2 Lyon!!! It's all over here at the Emirates Cup after one minute of added time!!! Moussa Dembele was the hero for a clinical Lyon who were much improved in the second period. Aubameyang gave Arsenal the lead in the first half and penalties would have been fair, but Lyon were more clinical. Martinelli also had a goal disallowed just before it went 1-2. That's all from us, thanks very much for joining us and see you again soon!
  • 91'
    Nketia goes down easily, but nothing given and that's the end!
  • 90'
    Arsenal trying to attack, but Lyon holding firm.
  • 88'
    Great tackle by Mustafi to dispossess Dembele. He seems to have hurt himself though. It would have been a pen had he missed the ball.
  • 88'
    Martinelli goes down rather easily wanting a free-kick, but Moss isn't interesting

  • 59'
    Aubameyang tests the sub GK now from distance.
  • 58'
    Nelson makes a super run down this near side and Nketiah is fractions away from getting on the end of the cross. It would have been a tap in.

  • 55'
    Traore has his shot blocked and then Tousart curls his effort well wide from outside the box.

  • 45'
    HT: Arsenal 1-0 Lyon!!! Arsenal deservedly lead at the break thanks to Aubameyang's lovely goal after a powerful cross by Mkhitaryan. The goal was coming and Arsenal have peppered the Lyon goal. The French side have offered very little going forward. The only bad news for Arsenal was Lacazette going off after 12 mins. Join us for more in 10 mins!
  • 45'

  • 29'
    Arsenal work a lovely move which was only lacking an end product and now Nelson sees a cross in cleared by Denayer.
  • 28'
    Dangerous move by Lyon!!! Memphis Depay beats a couple of defenders before passing to Cheik. He quickly passes to Traore and the chance goes.

  • 23'
    Gouiri fouls Chambers near Arsenal's goal.
  • 21'
    What a save by Lopes!!! Maitland-Niles sends in a cross, Mkhitaryan volleys it from six yards out, but Lopes makes a superb stop!!!! Willock then fires over the rebound. That should have been a goal.
  • 19'

    Arsenal sub: Nelson is on for Lacazette!!! Didn't seem to be injured, but maybe he isn't right.
  • 12'
    Monreal goes down wanting a penalty, but Moss isn't interested. Willock had played him in. Wasn't a pen.
  • 10'
    Monreal puts a lovely cross in and the Brazilian Marcal heads out for a corner at the far post.
  • 7'
