International Gunner Recap - Eboue Booked, Lansbury Comes Off Bench

Henri Lansbury came on at the hour mark in Bristol. Pic via Arsenal Youth.

Henri Lansbury started on the bench for the English U-21 side as they played host to Uzbekistan in Bristol today, then came on in the 61st minute of a 0-0 match, replacing captain Jack Rodwell of Everton. Danny Rose, who you may recall from a certain disastrous game in April, opened the scoring for England in the 64th; they went on to win 2-0.

Emmanuel Eboue started for Ivory Coast in a 1-0 win over Italy in East London. He was booked in the 35th minute, after a foul that resulted in, from what I could gather from the Associated Press recap, "rolling theatrics" from the Italian player. Kolo Toure scored the lone goal on a header after a free kick in the 55th.

12 more Gunners play meaningless games tomorrow.
