Arsenal 2-0 Lazio: Reiss Nelson and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang score in win
Last updated on .From the section Arsenal
Reiss Nelson and substitute Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored as Arsenal beat Italian side Lazio 2-0 in their final pre-season friendly in Stockholm.
Forward Nelson netted a first-half rebound after Alex Iwobi's low strike hit the base of the post.
Aubameyang came on at the break and scored with a precise finish.
Arsenal are next in action on the opening weekend of the new Premier League season, when they take on defending champions Manchester City.
Unai Emery's team played Atletico Madrid, Chelsea and PSG in addition to Lazio during pre-season as part of the International Champions Cup, a tournament featuring 18 teams playing at 23 different venues in the USA, Europe and Singapore.
Summer signing Lucas Torreira made his debut in midfield for the Gunners against Lazio, while veteran Swiss Stephan Lichtsteiner came off the bench to also make his first appearance for the club.

I haven't sworn at you or posted misleading information.
Why do you insist on blocking my posts from appearing?
Now, can you amend the article so it actually represents what happened in the match?
No matter where we finish Aubameyang will win the Golden Boot this coming season..
All 3 are great. But Alexis Sanchez (like most players) was often not at his best. Many assume that Sanchez always led Arsenal in goals scored during his time there. Not true. In Sanchez's 2nd year (2015-16) it was Giroud who actually led Arsenal in scoring with 24 goals (all comps) versus 17 goals for Sanchez.
Good solid pre season for Arsenal, not sure why people say it means nothing, winning is winning dies not matter when, wining these matches puts us in a way better position mentally than had we lost them, so in that way they count a lot.
Real test will be v MC, but lest with these wins we going in with the best frame of mind, so these matches count.
But not now, it's very clear he's lost half a yard - Arsenal have finally got the attack sorted after a number of years of not having out and out strikers. Only question mark remaining is how much has the defence been improved by Emery's summer signings
Like your spineless club, you need to hide behind lots of nics.
Look how shameful the bbc and talkSPORT behaved in the Wenger out campaign.
