Reflections on Arsenal's victory over AC Milan in Singapore 

Tia Thorne analyses Arsenal's performances during the win over AC Milan 

First and Foremost,  was good to see a very strong starting 11 starting as well as a very strong and depth on the bench.

Stand out performer in the first half would probably be of course Bukayo Saka and also Ethan Nwaneri, who was also absolutely unbelievable - who recalls that incredible bit of skill in the first half - and he probably deserved for his name to go on the scoresheet too.

Bukayo as  captain was great to see he lit up that first half too, and it was good to see the overlap with him and Ben White again down the right hand side.

Christian Norgaard also was steady, took a bit of time getting use to the environment and intensity we all play at.

I think in the first half we probably deserved to be a couple of goals up, we were definitely the better team.

I thought Riccardo Calafiori was brilliant left centre back and William Saliba was just being William Saliba as always.

Onto the second half when Mikel Arteta made a few changes.

It was good to see Martin Odegaard coming in, he’s really looking back to his best again he played some really clever passes, It’s just a shame that no one was on that wavelength with him at the time he played these passes.

We also got to see Martin Zubamendi in Arsenal colours - he was a bright spark getting used to his surroundings. I think he will be an unbelievable player for us this season.

Myles Lewis Skelly looked very good once again as well as give Jakub Kiwior was great to see the youngsters come on especially Max Dowman, who was absolutely unbelievable, scored his penalty in the shootout which was good and he just shoved players off as he dribbled past them.

It was fantastic to see Kepa saving a few penalties in the shoot out.

I think he is going to be an unbelievable second keeper to David Raya.

All in all a good run out.
