Arsenal lifted the Emirates Cup for the first time since 2010 this afternoon thanks to a 1-0 win over Wolfsburg.
Theo Walcott scored the only goal of the game on 50 minutes to earn the Gunners their second piece of pre-season silverware after their triumph in the Barclays Premier League Asia Trophy.

Here, fanatix rates the performances of those who featured for Arsene Wenger’s side…
GK: Petr Cech – 7.5/10
Making his full home debut, the former Chelsea goalkeeper showed what a great asset he is going to be for the Gunners by making good saves to keep out Andre Schurrle and Josuha Guilavogui.
RB: Hector Bellerin – 7/10
Another assured display from the impressive youngster. He frequently got to the right byline to deliver dangerous crosses and also made a couple of crucial blocks at the other end.
CB: Calum Chambers – 6.5/10
Bellerin’s emergence has knocked Chambers down the pecking order at right-back. The £16m signing appeared comfortable at centre-half, although he did only have Nicklas Bendtner to mark.
CB: Gabriel Paulista – 6/10
Did not have too much of great difficulty to do. Is firmly third choice behind Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny, so might have secretly been hoping for a busier afternoon and a platform to shine.
LB: Nacho Monreal – 6/10
Monreal was occasionally given a tough time by reported Manchester City target Kevin de Bruyne, but the Spaniard played a role in his side keeping their clean sheet.
