Main review
1. It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose):

Lead
 * Suggest a final sentence along the lines of "Wolfsburg, whcih scored one goal in the tournament, placed third, and Lyon, which scored none, placed last."

Background
 * You should add that this was the eighth Emirates Cup, since this is also in the lead (you might also think about doing this for the articles about other years, especially if you are planning on taking these through FAC).
 * "tournament, as they participated earlier in 2010." — Suggest "tournament; they also participated in 2010."

Summary
 * "started for the side." — Started for what side?
 * "Villarreal took the lead through Mario" — How?
 * "the Villareal forward's effort found its way into the net" — Suggest being a little more precise about what happened (e.g., "hard shot" instead of "effort", if that's what happened).
 * "with clear-cut chances" — Suggest "despite several clear chances to score".
 * "Bendtner's return to the Emirates was the main highlight for the home crowd," — Said who?
 * "coming on for Max Kruse." — Technically this refers to the home crowd.
 * "was handed a start" — Unless he's usually a non-starter, suggest just "started".
 * "Arsenal started sprightly" — A bit casual.
 * "headed in a free kick awarded" — Suggest "headed in a free kick, # yards out, awarded" if that information is available.
 * Can't find precise info for that so left it as it were.


 * "each scored before the break." — Suggest "break, leaving it 4–0 in favour of Arsenal."
 * "rounded off the victory with a sixth goal" — Suggest "rounded off the 6–0 victory with a final goal".
 * "for a foul on Javier Espinosa" — What minute?
 * "over Mathieu Gorgelin." — Suggest "over goalkeeper Mathieu Gorgelin."
 * "The Emirates Cup was postponed" — Suggest making this a new paragraph. Also, at the start of the new paragraph I would add a sentence or two stating places 1 through 4 for the 2015 edition.


 * b (MoS):

Appears compliant

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references):

Refs look good


 * b (citations to reliable sources):

Refs appear reliable
 * c (OR):

No OR seen
 * d (No evidence of plagiarism or copyright violations):

Nothing major, but "level on points and goal difference" is a bit close to the source.

3. It is broad in its scope.
 * a (major aspects):

Article covers the major aspects
 * b (focused):

Article is focued

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy Article is neutral

5. It is stable Article is stable

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):

Images are appropriately tagged
 * b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

Alt text needed, and first photograph (infobox) needs a caption.

7. Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:, article is in good shape. Made some copy edits, and left comments above. --Usernameunique (talk) 05:06, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
