Taken from Richard Clarke’s match report on Arsenal.com:
“Arsenal maintained their 100 percent pre-season record with a 5-2 victory at SC Rizting on Sunday
Dennis Bergkamp and Thierry Henry gave the visitors a two-goal cushion by the quarter-hour. Jose Antonio Reyes added a penalty in the 35th minute but Roman Pajer replied shortly afterwards to keep the home side in the game. Alfred Schiffer’s solo strike sparked some Austrian optimism 15 minutes from time, but Alexander Hleb and Sebastian Larsson had assured Arsenal’s superiority by the end.
This game was rarely a contest after that opening salvo but Arsène Wenger will be surely content with another solid workout for his squad. They will find tougher opposition in Amsterdam and Cardiff before the Premiership campaign starts in earnest but the side are doing everything that is expected of them against these lesser lights and looking sharp while they are doing it.
