The Gunners started their third pre season game against hungarian side szombathelyi this evening with a strong squad, including a start for returning striker Eduardo the most notable of the Arsenal appearances.
The Arsenal team that started was as follows:
Starting 11:
Vito Mannoe
Emmanuel Eboue
Armand Traore
Kolo Toure
Johan Djourou
Denilson
Aaron Ramsey
Alex Song
Jack Wilshere
Eduardo
Nicklas Bendtner
Subs:
Wojciech Szczesny
Bacary Sagna
Mikael Silvestre
Thomas Vermaelen
William Gallas
Philippe Senderos
Robin Van Persie
Andrey Arshavin
The gunners didn't start the game too well, having to withstand a number of good Szombathelyi attacks and almost scoring thanks to a vito mannone mistake. The building Arsenal pressure was becoming too much for the hungarians to handle and the deadlock was broken on 18 minutes when Armand Traore made himself enough space on the left wing to deliver a perfect cross for Bendtner to head into the far post of the szombathelyi net. The pain was to continue for the home side when the Arsenal midfield intercepted a counter attack allowing Niklas Bendtner to find Eduardo at the edge of the box who rifled a well placed shot to the far post of the oncoming keeper to make it 2-0.
More goals were still come before the break as first Eduardo converted his first free kick effort of the game to the bottom left corner of the goal and Bendtner added a second to his tally only three minutes later when he rounded Rozsa Daniel for Arsenal's fourth, bring on the second half!
