John-Jules puts Arsenal on brink of quarter-finals

Premier League International Cup

Gunners beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-2 while Leicester City get off to a winning start against Villarreal

Arsenal made it two wins from two in the Premier League International Cup thanks to a late goal from Tyreece John-Jules in a 3-2 win over Dinamo Zagreb.

The Croatian team had taken the lead through Antonio Marin before Arsenal fought back with goals by John-Jules and James Olayinka.

Dynamo's Roko Baturina levelled with 11 minutes remaining but John-Jules had the last word with his second goal of the evening to send Arsenal to the top of Group A on six points.

That means the Gunners are three points clear of Dinamo, who have also played twice, and second-placed Leicester, who have a match in hand, and can only be edged out of the two qualification spots on goal difference if results go against them.

Also in Group A, Leicester City won their opening match of the competition. They beat Villarreal 2-1 thanks to goals by George Hirst and Josh Eppiah.
