Russian magic wins it for Gunners

01 August 2009 17:47
Andrey Arshavin came off the bench to net a late double as Arsenal beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 in the Emirates Cup. The Russian, introduced in the second half, produced two superb finishes as the Gunners maintained their promising build-up to the new campaign. There was also a welcome home return for Czech winger Tomas Rosicky, who had been out of action for some 18 months with a string of niggling injuries - and his availability for the build-up to the new campaign will be welcome boost to manager Arsene Wenger following the loss of Samir Nasri to a broken leg. German Pacheco scored for Atletico in between Arshavin's brace.
