Opeyemi Oladunjoye
Yaya Sanogo scored four times as Arsenal beat Benfica 5-1 in the Emirates Cup on Saturday.
The French striker, who failed to find the net in 14 appearances last season, was spot on as Benfica were demolished at the Emirates Stadium.
Costa Rica striker, Joel Campbell was also on target for the Gunners in a match that saw Alexis Sanchez and Calum Chambers made their debuts.
Sanogo scored the first goal in the 26th minute, the second five minutes before the half time break as Campbell and completed his hat-trick in first-half stoppage time, tucking home a Kieran Gibbs cross.
Sanogo followed up Ramsey’s saved effort to score his fourth and Arsenal’s fifth early in the second half, before Nico Gaitan headed a consolation for Benfica just after the hour mark.
Chile forward Sanchez, signed from Barcelona, replaced Campbell to a rousing reception with 15 minutes left.
