The summer recruit Tommy Setford made his debut in goal, while Ethan Nwaneri was given a start. With Martin Odegaard still absent, Jorginho served as captain and lead the team out. The Arsenal dominated the match from the outset and were rewarded 25 minutes in when Gabriel Jesus scored the opening goal with a well-placed half-volley. Eight minutes later, Nwaneri scored his third senior goal for the club with a stunning curling effort that found the top corner, doubling Mikel Artetaâs teamâs lead. Arsenal maintained a comfortable 2-0 lead at the break. Twelve minutes into the second half, Kai Havertz, a substitute, capitalized on a sublime cross from Jakub Kiwior to score his teamâs third goal. The hosts made a late comeback and exerted some pressure on the Gunners; however, they were unable to break through as Artetaâs team maintained a clean sheet.
