Arsenal vs Monaco LIVE!

The Gunners wrap up their eventful pre-season campaign with an Emirates Cup clash against French opposition tonight. This annual summer competition returned last year in a new one-off game format, with Arsenal thrashing Sevilla 6-0 to set the table for their subsequent Premier League title bid. Usually on a weekend, the looming Community Shield showdown with Manchester City at Wembley on Sunday means it’s a rare midweek slot for another high-profile clash.

Arsenal return home after trips to Germany and the United States, where an eight-goal thriller against Barcelona made up for an otherwise slow sequence of results that included losing to Manchester United. Declan Rice missed that 5-3 win over the LaLiga champions in Los Angeles as an injury precaution, but returns this evening as the likes of fellow new signings Kai Havertz and Jurrien Timber also prepare for their home debuts. However, Gabriel Jesus is out with a knee issue in a worrying update.

Monaco finished sixth in Ligue 1 last term and are now managed by new boss Adi Hutter, who oversaw three straight friendly wins before a loss to Genoa last time out stunted their progress. Follow Arsenal vs Monaco at the Emirates Cup live below, with expert analysis from Standard Sport’s Matt Verri in north London!

Arsenal 1-1 Monaco

51 mins: Arsenal look to get themselves going in this second half as Partey does brilliantly to turn and find Vieira, who picks out Martinelli.

The Brazilian then looks to go at the outside of Matsima before blazing a fierce shot over the crossbar from a tough angle.

50 mins: This has been a really sloppy start to the second period from Arsenal, who are being run ragged and look so open at the back.

Now it’s Monaco substitute Minamino who stands up a great cross to the back post for Golovin, who cushions a volley straight into the grasp of Ramsdale under huge pressure from Tomiyasu.

Arteta will be fuming.

That would have been the last thing Ramsdale needs right now. Inches away from an own goal, Arsenal once again looking vulnerable at the back. Was a theme in the USA tour and it doesn’t appear to have been fixed yet.

48 mins: How lucky are Arsenal there?!

Ben Yedder has an open goal but somehow slides against the post after a great cross from Caio Henrique.

The ball then deflects behind off Ramsdale, who didn’t know anything about it.

An early second-half reprieve for the Gunners.

Back underway at the Emirates!

Former Liverpool midfielder Takumi Minamino has come on for Monaco, replacing young Ben Seghir.

No changes from Arteta just yet though.

Arsenal confirm post-match penalty shootout

Arsenal have just clarified the situation on that post-match penalty shootout...

“Regardless of the score at the end of 90 minutes this evening, a penalty shootout will take place between the two teams. There will be no extra time,” the club said.

“If the winner of the match differs from that of the shootout, the Emirates Cup is awarded to the match winner.”

Arsenal deservedly level at the break, that goal from Monaco really coming out of nothing.

William Saliba unusually rash and could easily have been sent off, but otherwise fairly encouraging from the Gunners.

Gabriel Martinelli and Declan Rice both really impressive in the opening 45 minutes.

Half-time

All square at the break in this Emirates Cup clash after Nketiah’s close-range volley on the stroke of half-time cancelled out Fofana’s opener.

A decent game this and plenty of positives for both sides.

The captain has his goal! He’s had very little to work with so far but deserves that, constantly been making runs in behind.

GOAL! Eddie Nketiah, 44

44 mins: Now Arsenal are level before the break!

Ben Seghir switches off from the corner and allows Nketiah to ghost in at the back post and cushion a straightforward volley into the back of the net from a few yards out.

Deserved.
