Match Report

Mesut Ozil scored on his return to the Arsenal starting XI in an emphatic 5-1 International Champions Cup win over an unfamiliar Paris Saint-Germain side, while Alexandre Lacazette netted a brace.

Ozil, who captained the Gunners, has had a difficult couple of months that culminated in him retiring from international football last week after growing tired of perceived mistreatment from the German Football Federation (DFB).

That saga stemmed from a pre-World Cup meeting with controversial Turkey president Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but he returned to Arsenal action in successful fashion on Saturday.

Arsenal was dominant for much of the first period, a spell which essentially began with Ozil's 13th-minute opener at the end of a fine move.

A host of chances went begging thereafter, as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alex Iwobi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan squandered the best opportunities, and PSG briefly made them pay for their profligacy.

Timothy Weah was the inspiration, winning a penalty from Sead Kolasinac, and Christopher Nkunku converted in the 60th minute.

But the Gunners stepped things up again towards the end – Lacazette, who was brought on for Iwobi at the break, scoring twice in quick succession from close range, before Rob Holding and Eddie Nketiah wrapped up an impressive win over coach Unai Emery's former team.

Nothing yet from PSG in terms of team news... Who also seems to be playing in their third kit in a move that is in no way related in trying to sell the strip to the South-East Asian market.

Team news! Arsenal have surfaced with their team (Which is likely to change loads during the game) Mesut Ozil gets his first start of the preseason and is handed the captain's armband. Summer signing Bernd Leno is in goal, along with Sokratis (I'm not doing his second name for speed) in at centre back. 

Almost time for our second match in Singapore 🇸🇬

🔢 So, here's how we're lining up to face Paris Saint-Germain...#ICC2018 pic.twitter.com/Qfr3IUaG88 — Arsenal FC (@Arsenal) July 28, 2018

Plenty of chat surrounds the future of Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey, who has a year left on his current deal in North London. Could the Welsh international be a potential candidate for captaincy this season? The video below answers these questions and more! 

 PSG have been out in Singapore, today might be an opportunity to get a look at new keeper Gigi Buffon in the sticks for the Parisians!
