Bayern Arsenal

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang left and Mesut Ozil right played well and the attack was slick. Tyreece John-Jules played a one-two with Calum Chambers and crossed for Nketiah to poke in from close range.

The Gunners have lost their previous five games against Bayern so will have been pleased to get the better of the Bavarians, pre-season or not.

A combined score of in those meetings was a reminder of a demolition job from the Germans in both legs of the Champions League round of 16 and a group stage game where they suffered another hammering by the same scoreline in Allianz Arena.

This time it was a different story and with owner Stan Kroenke watching on from the stands Arsenal set to work in their 'bruised banana' away kit for the first time.

And Emery brought out his heavy hitters in the starting line-up with plenty of experience on show. Louis Poznanski turned the ball into his own net from Aubameyang's dangerous cross.

Robert Lewandowski equalised for Bayern Munich with a sensational guided header. Mesut Ozil, Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were all given the nod and Emery was rewarded with a fine attacking display.

It was Ozil in particular who showed encouraging signs of sharpness. The German was roaming, dangerous and creative, though might have expected to have taken at least one of the two clear chances he created.

And Aubameyang was a constant threat, creating clear-cut chances for both Ozil and Reiss Nelson. This was a committed Arsenal performance full of intent and they pressed the German champions from the off, almost forcing a calamitous error out of Manuel Neuer who tried to dribble away from a player on the edge of his six yard box before recovering in the nick of time.

Goalkeeper Bernd Leno was forced into making a few saves, this one from Thomas Muller. Aubameyang was one of the main danger men both as a creator and scoring threat.

But at the other end of the pitch there were the typical defensive frailties rearing their head.

All in all, Emery will have been pleased with the outing and a second successive win after the triumph over Colorado Rapids. Arsenal move on with another encouraging victory under their belt in the United States.
