Arsenal bags Emirates Cup
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 02 - 08 - 2010

Arsenal won the preseason Emirates Cup for a second straight year Sunday, beating Celtic 3-2 with goals from Carlos Vela, Bacary Sagna and Samir Nasri.
Vela scored in the third minute when Theo Walcott passed the ball into the six-yard box and the Mexico international slid in to tap past Celtic goalkeeper Lukasz Zaluska.
Sagna scored with less than a minute to go before halftime with a left-foot volley after a casual pass from Tomas Rosicky found him on the edge of the area.
Nasri scored in the 51st from close range after Walcott set him up inside the area.
Celtic, quiet for most of the match, staged a late rally by pulling a goal back in the 73rd when Daryl Murphy slotted the ball past Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia. Ki Sung-yueng put Celtic within a goal of Arsenal in the 82nd, scoring from close range off a low cross from the right.
Celtic was also awarded a penalty in the 68th after Jack Wilshere pulled down Marc-Antoine Fortune but Georgios Samaras fired the ball well wide of goal.
In the early match, Lyon's Jimmy Briand scored a late equalizer to secure a 1-1 draw against AC Milan.
Lyon, Champions League semifinalists last season, dominated the game but failed to take its chances. The French side fell behind when Milan's Marco Borriello opened the scoring in the 55th. Briand equalized with 10 minutes remaining.
