Arsenal 4-0 Sevilla LIVE! Jesus and Saka goals – Emirates Cup match stream, latest score and updates today

Saka #Saka

Arsenal blew away Sevilla with a devastating first-half performance in Saturday’s 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 LaLiga’s 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 Arteta’s side ran riot and created plenty more chances, with Brazilian duo Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli in particular looking electric.

Shellshocked Sevilla, far behind Arsenal in their pre-season preparations, will attempt to mount some sort of response after the break, no doubt with a few stern half-time words ringing in their ears from manager Julen Lopetegui.

62 mins: Still the chances come thick and fast for Arsenal, with Zinchenko playing an inviting square pass for captain Odegaard, who gets underneath the ball and slams it high into the stands.

Arsenal had slowed the tempo down somewhat in this second half, no doubt weary of exerting themselves too much with the Premier League opener coming on Friday night, but they are now picking up the pace once more and ripping Sevilla apart with more sumptuous combinations.

Loads of substitutes now warming up down on the touchline.
