Well 2 trophys for the young Arsenal side as they get ready to take on the BIG 3 again in the pemiership starting next week.
All i can say is Go Go Arsenal, Good Luck Lads

Emirates Cup

Robin van Persie's brilliant winner saw Arsenal beat Inter Milan and lift the pre-season Emirates Cup.

Van Persie tricked his way into space to drill a powerful shot past the Serie A champions' keeper Francesco Toldo.

Despite dominating for long spells Arsenal fell behind to a well-placed header from Inter's Honduras striker David Suazo.

Arsenal drew level when Alexander Hleb reacted to drill home the loose ball after Toldo saved his initial effort.

For long periods, it looked as though Arsenal had found no solution to their lack of cutting edge from last season.

Some of the Gunners' approach play and passing was exquisite, but they failed to carve out many chances against a stubborn Inter defence.

Hleb and van Persie were invariably involved in the chances they did create.

Hleb's delightful dummy set up van Persie in the first half but keeper Julio Cezar stretched to save and the Dutch striker drew another fine save from the Brazilian keeper.



Amsterdam Tournament

Arsenal scooped their second tournament trophy of the week with a battling 1-0 victory over Ajax on Saturday night.

Arsène Wenger's side had won the Emirates Cup last Sunday thanks to a late strike from Robin van Persie. It was a case of double Dutch this evening as the striker finished off a marauding run from Gael Clichy three minutes from time to win the Amsterdam Tournament.

The victory was deserved. Ajax keeper Maarten Stekelenburg had been by far the busier keeper, saving point-blank from Kolo Toure and Van Persie during a lively 90 minutes.

Of course, pre-season form will count for nothing when the campaign starts properly at the weekend. However, in the past eight days Arsenal's young side have strung together wins over PSG, Inter, Lazio and now Ajax.
