Arsenal Send Message To Rest Of Premier League By Going 4-0 Up Against Sevilla After 19 Minutes

Arsenal sent a clear message to their competition on Saturday with a breathtaking start to their Emirates Cup clash against La Liga outfit Sevilla.

Mikel Arteta's men opened the scoring with just 10 minutes played at the Emirates.

Bukayo Saka, who was instrumental for the Gunners throughout last season, cooly converted from the penalty spot to put Arsenal ahead.

The goal came moments after newly-appointed captain Martin Odegaard chipped a perfectly-weighted ball to Saka. Seconds later, Karim Rekik knocked the England international over in the area and the referee pointed to the spot.

Was it a penalty? You decide.

Three minutes later, the in-form Gabriel Jesus doubled Arsenal's lead after Sevilla failed to clear their lines.

The Brazilian, who arrived from champions Manchester City this summer in a reported £45 million deal, poked home from close range to continue his impressive start to life in North London.

Jesus then scored his second of the game, just two minutes after netting his first of the afternoon.

Gabriel Martinelli’s cross found the 25-year-old at the back post and he converted with ease, giving Arsenal a deserved 3-0 lead. But wait, it doesn't stop there.

Arsenal’s 'relentless press' forced Sevilla goalkeeper Yassine Bounou into making a terrible error and that man Saka scored his brace to make it four. FOUR.

Despite their impressive start to the campaign, Mikel Arteta has urged fans not to get carried away with their performances in pre-season.

“As you could see there are a lot of positives to take from the [Chelsea] game. The way we played, the intensity we showed, the way we were trying to show who we are as a team,” Arteta told Arsenal's official website after the 4-0 win.

“But at the same time, it’s just a test match. Don’t get carried away. There are still a lot of things that we have to get better at and do better.

“I think it’s good to get some momentum, finish the tour in the right way, give some enjoyment to our fans and everybody that’s been contributing to make this tour happen.

"Now it’s time to go back to London, to focus and keep making improvements and steps forwards.”
