Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has hailed his players’ display following a 5-0 win over a Major League Soccer selected XI in Washington DC.
Gabriel Jesus and Leandro Trossard gave the Gunners a two-goal lead in the first half.
Jorginho’s penalty extended their lead in the second half, before more goals from Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz.
Arteta, speaking on what was a physical match, told Apple TV: “I want it as competitive as I possibly can.
“We knew that they were an opposition in the middle of their season, they are really fit at the moment.
“We suffered in certain moments with the heat and conditions and having to adapt to the pitch as well, but that’s the start of the process in pre-season.”
