Arsenal 2–0 Olympique Lyonnais
by Layth Yousif
ARSENAL welcomed back Declan Rice and Bukayo Saka after their summer exertions with England as Mikel Arteta’s assured side swept away Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday.
In a dominant start, William Saliba put the Gunners ahead, nodding Rice’s in-swinging corner through Lyon keeper Lucas Perri and into the net to make it 1-0 after only eight minutes.
On a blisteringly hot afternoon in north London, Saka nearly doubled the lead, when connecting with Olexsandr Zinchenko’s cross, but his header flew across Perri’s goalmouth to clip the far post and away to safety.
