PRE-SEASON GAME: Iwobi, Akpom, Iheanacho on target

Nigerian youngsters Alex Iwobi, Chuba Akpom and Kelechi Iheanacho all scored as Arsenal beat Manchester City 3-2 in a pre-season friendly in Gothenburg, Sweden on Sunday.

With both teams naming strong starting line-ups, it was City who took the lead after half an hour when Sergio Aguero turned in Raheem Sterling's cross.

 
Alex Iwobi levelled early in the second half before Theo Walcott and Akpom put the Gunners 3-1 ahead.

 
Iwobi has now scored three goals in pre-season while Akpom scored for the fourth game in a row.

 
Kelechi Iheanacho pulled a goal back for City and there was then a lengthy stoppage after an injury to Gabriel, who had to be stretchered off after a clash with Sterling.

 
Arsenal will open their English Premier League campaign next Saturday against Liverpool, while City will do battle against Sunderland.
