Arsenal fans at the Emirates today for the second day of the Emirates Cup weren't left disappointed as their club club record signing Alexandre Lacazette notched his first goal on home soil.
The Frenchman, who hit 28 goals in Ligue One for Lyon last season, opened his account in a pre-season friendly against Sydney FC earlier this month and got off the mark at the Emirates today, grabbing the equaliser against Sevilla.
The Spanish side went 1-0 through Joaquin Correa, before the Gunners, hosting the Emirates Cup again after a break last year, levelled matters courtesy of their £46 million man.

After some great industrious work from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain down the right, Danny Welbeck's mis-hit saw the ball drop into the path of the Arsenal No.9, who coolly slotted home.

Here's how fans reacted:
Sevilla's Steven N'Zonzi would go on to score the winner to give the Andalusian side the win; the former Blackburn and Stoke midfielder curling in a wonderful left-footed strike in the 68th minute to maintain his side's 100 per cent record in the tournament.

However, because of the unusual rules and regulations applied in the competition,whereby every goal scored earns you a point, Arsenal edged out Sevilla to win the Emirates Cup on goals scored.
