Arsenal suffered a 2-1 defeat to Sevilla on Sunday in the Emirates Cup, but still managed to win the competition for a fifth time.

The Gunners saw summer signing Alexandre Lacazette net another goal in pre-season, but it was the Spanish club who ran out winners at the Emirates Stadium.

Sevilla managed two eye catching goals from Joaquin and Steven N’Zonzi to win the game, but finished runners-up overall.

For Arsene Wenger, it was a chance for one final look at his players before the Community Shield final against Chelsea on 6 August.

The north London club will then turn their attention to the beginning of the Premier League where they will host Leicester on a Friday night.

This Is Futbol has picked out three things that were learned from Arsenal’s narrow defeat to Sevilla.

Here are those three points, including why Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has now done enough to overtake Hector Bellerin in the starting line-up.
