Arsenal 1-1 Monaco (5-4 pens): Mikel Arteta's side win the Emirates Cup after penalty shootout triumph in final friendly before the Community Shield

Arsenal rounded off their pre-season campaign by beating Monaco to claim the Emirates Cup, with an enthralling friendly settled by a penalty shootout.

In their final test ahead of their Community Shield showdown against Manchester City, Mikel Arteta's side triumphed on a home debut for several summer signings.

The visitors proved stern opponents, however, and took the lead in the first half.

After good work from Mohamed Camara, with the midfielder picking up the ball and bursting into the box, a cross was whipped in for Youssouf Fofana to head home.
