Friendly round-up

Francis Jeffers proved to manager Arsene Wenger he has not lost his scoring touch with a goal in Arsenal's 2-0 friendly win over Sturm Graz.

The England-capped striker spent last season on loan with Everton, as he was surplus to requirements at Highbury.

However, the pacey striker is back with The Gunners and showing he can still find the back of the net despite a disappointing year at Goodison Park.

Jose Reyes opened the scoring after the half hour mark when he scored from the penalty spot, before Jerome Aliadiere set up Jeffers with a close-range finish late on.

Tottenham Hotspur slipped to a 2-0 defeat against Rangers thank to goals from Nacho Novo and Dado Prso, however more worryingly, Robbie Keane was stretchered off early in the game.
