SINGAPORE — Arsenal capped off a successful pre-season tour in Singapore, by winning their first title at the Barclays Asia Trophy.
The reigning FA Cup champions picked up a convincing 3-1 win over Everton in the final, in front of a 52,107-strong crowd at the National Stadium today (July 18).
Theo Walcott gave the Gunners a 1-0 lead going into half-time, before goals from Santi Cazorla and Mesut Ozil in the second half put the game beyond the Toffees’ reach.
Ross Barkley managed to get a consolation goal for Everton, but the Gunners eventually went home with the trophy.
This puts them in good stead for the Emirates Cup on Jul 25 and 16, as well as their Premier League opener against West Ham on Aug 9. CHANNEL NEWSASIA
