Lazio 1 – 2 Arsenal

// August 2nd, 2007 // Arsenal FC

Eduardo da Silva celebrated getting his UK work permit (and my birthday) by scoring the winning goal in Arsenal’s 2-1 victory over Italian side Lazio in today’s opening match of the Amsterdam Tournament.

Nicklas Bendtner opened the scoring in the 19th minute, but Pandev pulled the Italians level just before half-time.

Dudu’s goal 10 minutes after the break sealed the points however, and the Gunners will now face tournament hosts, Ajax, on Saturday afternoon to decide the winner of the tournament trophy. Ajax defeated Atletico Madrid 2-0 in the other match today, so it’ll have to be a clean sheet or a win by two goals or better to see the Gunners capture their second piece of silverware this pre-season.
