Declan Rice shows his class in attack with effective crosses but William Saliba was not at his best at the back in pre-season draw with Monaco

Arsenal retained the Emirates Cup after beating Monaco in a penalty shootout following a tense 1-1 draw on Wednesday night.

Aaron Ramsdale was the hero for the Gunners, saving an effort from former Liverpool winger Takumi Minamino to ensure that Mikel Arteta’s side triumphed 5-4.
