Aug 7, 2016 4:31:00 PM

With the new season just a week away, Arsenal was dealt an injury blow as it beat Manchester City in a preseason friendly.

Alexis Sanchez starred for Arsenal in a deserved win 3-2 over Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in Gothenburg, but Arsene Wenger's defensive injury crisis worsened.

As both teams concluded their preseason schedules, the game looked set for penalties at 1-1 until the former Barcelona star set away Theo Walcott to beat Joe Hart with a neat finish.

Chuba Akpom put Arsenal further ahead, but a late Kelechi Iheanacho header cut the gap before Gabriel was injured in a challenge with the City striker in the final seconds.
