Arsenal claimed victory against Leyton Orient in a closed-door friendly on Saturday, when Gabriel Jesus and Emile Smith Rowe scored in a 2-0 win.
The Gunners begin their pre-season programme in the United States next week, flying in to face Bournemouth, Manchester United and Liverpool, but Mikel Arteta’s side first faced League One’s Leyton Orient at their Sobha Realty centre.
Several first-team stars have done so for Arsenal, with Ben White and Jurrien Timber in defence, Martin Odegaard starting in midfield and Gabriel Jesus lining up alongside Eddie Nketiah.
The forwards combined to score Arsenal’s opener, while Nketiah set Jesus up to finish, before Emile Smith Rowe came on at half-time and received his decision on the minutes a few minutes later, after clever paintings of Jesus.
Smith Rowe’s long career in north London remains uncertain, with Crystal Palace and Fulham among the clubs interested in signing him this summer.
