Little
more than a glorified training session maybe, but here was a friendly
game to enhance a few of Arsenal’s hopes and deepen some of Everton’s
fears.
Arsene
Wenger relaxed in his seat and enjoyed a fluent performance which
suggested the Londoners were still in good rhythm and can extend a fine
end to the last campaign into the next one.
Petr
Cech made some wonderful saves and Santi Cazorla was irresistible as he
scored one and created others for Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil as
Arsenal won the Barclays Asia Trophy.
Does it mean that the French man is ready to take his ordeal this summer?
