Arsenal finished their pre-season campaign in fine style by thrashing Sevilla 6-0 to claim the Emirates Cup.

Gabriel Jesus made an instant impression on his new supporters by grabbing a hat-trick.

A capacity crowd were treated to four goals in the opening 20 minutes, courtesy of braces from Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, with the Brazilian striker completing his treble on 77 minutes before Eddie Nketiah got in on the act in the final minute.

The performance, clinical finishing and clean sheet ensured it was a good afternoon's work for Mikel Arteta's men, who look well-prepared for the Premier League starting in six days' time.

Speaking post-match, manager Mikel Arteta said of their supporters: “They are going to hopefully love every player, for the commitment and everything that they try to give on that pitch. I think that connection is being built because they know that the players transmit what they are willing to do.

“We want to give them [the supporters] the right enjoyment, and the right performances to make them happy, and we are getting everything back from them as well. So I think there is good chemistry there."

Today's victory finished off a successful summer, with the squad netting 26 times in seven matches.

“It was a great performance, right from the beginning," he said. “The way we started, the intensity that we played with, the atmosphere that we created again, with our people, it made a special day. Obviously, the result is big, but it's just a test match, nothing else.

“We have shared the minutes across the team in the best possible way. We had another game on Wednesday at Colney, and everybody needs to fit, because things can still happen from here until Friday. Everybody needs to be available and at their best to give the right performance.

“We are really excited for the season. We know that Friday night is going to be a very different game, with a different context and atmosphere. We have to prepare really well for that."
