WHAT HAPPENED
Emi Martinez saved the decisive spot kick from former Gunner Jeff Reine-Adelaide to hand us a penalty shoot-out win in France.
Reiss Nelson had earned us a draw in this hard-fought pre-season friendly, when he pounced on a loose ball inside the box during the second half.
In truth we were never at our best against the Ligue 1 side and a draw was perhaps a fair result after 90 minutes.
The hosts, celebrating their centenary, were buoyed by the atmosphere inside the stadium before kick-off, and were on top for most of the first half, taking the lead inside 20 minutes.
