Arsenal beat Portuguese side Benfica comfortably, but Arsene Wenger was faced with a distressing situation at the touchline.

The Gunners breezed past Portuguese champions Benfica as they got off to a phenomenal start in the Emirates Cup with a 5-2 win.

However, manager Arsene Wenger was the aim of verbal abuse hurled at him by a pitch invader, and the French coach responded as the disgruntled fan was escorted off the pitch by stewards.
