The game is over and the final score is Arsenal 2-3 Villarreal. Here is the match report.
Match report
The first Arsenal Start by Viktor Gyokers ended in the defeat when Villarreal ran 3-1 winners in the Emirates Stadium, despite the 15-year-old Max Dowman who blows the crowd again.
After a short cameo in the defeat of Northern London Derby against Spurs in Hong Kong, Gyokeres received an hour by Mikel Arteta, but his Arsenal returned home by another signing with a big money that a Villarreal shirt wore.
Nicolas Pepe, the ever-£ 72 million Arsenal Record signature, gave the LaLiga side the lead up close after the header of Pape Gueye came from the post. And more doubtful defense saw the yellow submarine double their benefit.
Gerard Moreno was found in the space in the area and while David Raya saved his shot well, Karl Etta Eyong was present to nod up close.
Arsenal immediately responded with their favorite weapon – set pieces. The corner of Gabriel Martinelli went home through the summer and signed Christian Norgaard at De Verre Post, the Danish midfielder who shows that he can bring his set piece of bravery of his Brentford days to Arsenal.
The Gunners insisted on a level in the second half, where Gyokees saw his best chance of the game, kept outside of Luis Junior at the nearby pole. But Villarreal would get a third, because former Bournemouth and Everton -wing player Arnaut Danjuma VERLAD RUN and finished under Kepa Arrizabalaga in the far corner.
Just as Arsenal looked like they were missing a spark, Dowman stepped up again. The 15-year-old took the game to his opponents at Champions League level and, just like against Newcastle in Singapore, won a penalty.
A slippery rear weel of the teenager brought him into the box before he went under a challenge so that Martin Odegaard could stop the penalty.
Arsenal then applied Noni Madueke, but again, it was Dowman who pulled all the strings of Arsenal. However, the Gunners could not prevent suffering back-to-back defeats in the preseason, with their Premier League campaign that started next week against Manchester United, live on Sky Sports.
