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.
