Arsenal Falls to Borussia Dortmund 3-2 in Emirates Cup
Arsenal lost 3-2 to Borussia Dortmund in the Emirates Cup, continuing their pre-season struggles with back-to-back defeats. Dortmund took a 2-0 lead at halftime with goals from Samuele Inacio and Konstantinos Karetsas.
After the break, Joane Gadou extended Dortmund's lead to 3-1, despite Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri scoring following an assist from Christos Tzolis. Viktor Gyokeres later converted a penalty for Arsenal, but a disallowed goal from Gabriel in stoppage time prevented an equalizer.
Arsenal's defensive issues were evident, as they conceded three goals in consecutive matches. Mikel Arteta's squad is set to welcome back key players soon, including new signing Bruno Guimaraes, as they prepare for their upcoming Community Shield match against Manchester City.
