It took the former Sporting Lisbon man thirty five minutes to score a blistering header and put the smoking gunners ahead in their last game before their season's opener against Manchester United.

Odegaard sent the ball across to Saka who cut it back to mercurian midfielder Zubimendi who in turn sent a cross to Gyokorees who headed it to the back of the net.

Within two minutes the gunners were back through Saka with the second goal.

And they held on to the lead until the second half when substitute Harvert made it three to round up what ended as a wonderful performance for the home team.

The gunners travel to Old Trafford next week for their first match of the season.
