• Klopp Laughs Off Mourinho ’ s Title - winning Jibe
Substitute Alexandre Lacazette scored twice as Arsenal thumped Paris St- Germain 5 - 1 in Singapore .
Lacazette flicked in a finish from Emile Smith - Rowe ’ s cross and headed home his second in the friendly .
Mesut Ozil , who quit international football after the World Cup , captained the Gunners and stroked in the opener , while Rob Holding headed in the fourth and Eddie Nketiah scored the fifth.
Christopher Nkunku had briefly levelled for PSG with a second - half penalty .
The spot - kick was awarded after Sead Kolasinac tripped Timothy Weah in the box , but Arsenal ran away with the game thereafter .
New Gunners manager Unai Emery had said he wants “ five captains ” in his team this season and handed the armband to midfielder Ozil on this occasion .
Ozil cited “ racism and disrespect” over his Turkish roots in his decision to call time on his Germany career but repaid his club manager’ s faith by converting from Pierre Emerick - Aubameyang ’ s cutback .
Meanwhile , Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp , has quipped that one of his “life goals is to make Jose Mourinho smile ” after the Manchester United manager suggested Liverpool “had to win the Premier League” this season .
Mourinho claimed the Anfield club are “ big candidates ” for the title having spent £ 170 m on four players this summer.
But Klopp has dismissed those comments before Saturday’ s meeting between the two sides in Michigan in the International Champions Cup .
“ It ’ s a free world and I have no problem with Jose, ” said the German .
“ We are responsible for our fans, our owners and nobody else . I am not too interested in Man Utd . ”
Klopp ’ s response follows Mourinho ’ s suggestion Liverpool will have set a “ Premier League record ” this season , after spending nearly £ 250m in the last 12 months .
That figure includes world - record fees for £ 66 . 8 m goalkeeper Alisson from Roma and £ 75 m defender Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in January.
