Arsenal goalkeeper Karl Hein was delighted with his performance in the Dubai Super Cup on Thursday – keeping a clean sheet and saving no fewer than four spot kicks in the shootout.

The Gunners won the Cup tie against Lyon 3-0 before also winning the penalty shootout.

"Yeah, the boys did really well for the first 70 minutes I believe when the first team players were on - did an excellent job," Hein told arsenal.com.

"First half, we were excellent. We were aggressive, we scored goals. Second half, the under-21 boys came on and finished it off really well. I think we were really solid to the end.

"We don't get penalty shootouts often so I think it's a really, really good idea from the tournament to implement that penalty shootout. So yeah, I think it was a great experience. A bit of a different scenario with the penalty shootout. We managed to win so everything is good."

On being in Dubai, he added: "It's been hot! It's been quite tough. Tough training in the hot weather is a bit different, but it's another preseason because of the World Cup. We can take advantage of it."
