HALF TIME: ARSENAL 1 AS MONACO 1

All square at the break in the Emirates Cup!

43 Mins: Rice is looking to carry the Arsenal charge, as his drive into the box is denied by a last ditch Monaco tackle. Tomiyasu lines one up from outside the box, but Phillip Kohn dives to deny the rampaging Japanese full back.

40 Mins: Arsenal look rattled heading into the break, with Saliba fortunate not to pick up a second yellow card, and Monaco looking comfortable in midfield.

32 Mins: MONACO LEAD 1-0!

On the back of Nketiah’s miss, Monaco sweep forward, and storm into the lead!

The hosts counter attack is easily broken up by Monaco and Mo Camara’s dinked cross is headed home by Youssouf Fofana!

28 Mins: BIG CHANCE FOR ARSENAL!

The best opening so far, as Martinelli slides past two Monaco defender and cuts back for Eddie Nketiah, but Arsenal’s captain for today pokes wide of the post!

William Saliba then picks up a booking for a late tackle on Golovin and Timber does well to recover and block off a Monaco break.

20 Mins: Both sides are working to step up the tempo now. Wissam Ben Yedder is flagged offside after breaking in behind the Arsenal back line and Rice’s low cross whizzes across the Monaco box.

15 Mins: Gabriel Martinelli looks to carve out a chance with a mazy un into the box but he is crowded out.

10 Mins: A busy opening 10 minutes here with corners at both ends and a crunching Declan Rice tackle in midfield. Russian star Aleksandr Golovin looked to test Ramsdale, but the Gunners stopper palmed away his effort.
