Arsenal win first pre-season game in Singapore

Arsenal commenced their pre-season tour game in Singapore when they played against Italian Serie A side AC Milan.

The Gunners won the game in a 1–0 scoreline at the National Stadium in Singapore on Wednesday.

Several Arsenal regulars, including Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Ben White were available for the match.

Arsenal summer signings were also not left out as Christian Norgaard, who joined the Gunners from Brentford, made his first appearance against AC Milan.

Norgaard’s fellow arrivals Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi started for Arsenal from the bench.

The North London side dominated the first half but failing to find the back of the net.

However, seven minutes into the second half, England winger Bukayo Saka latched onto a cross from defender Jakub Kiwior and slotted the ball home into the far corner.

Arsenal’s,$m attempt to score a second goal was stopped by Milan’s substitute goalkeeper Lorenzo Torriani, who denied Mikel Merino’s header with a full-stretch save at the 75th minute.

Torriani also tipped Leandro Trossard’s close-range effort over the bar as Arsenal were able to score just a goal in the match.

Arsenal will now focus on their next game against Newcastle United on Sunday.
