Arsenal showcased their dominance, securing a resounding 5-0 victory against the Major League Soccer (MLS) All-Star team in a pre-season friendly at Audi Field on Wednesday. The match saw Declan Rice making his Arsenal debut, while Kai Havertz scored his first goal for the Gunners after his move from London rivals Chelsea last month.
Rice, the record-breaking signing from West Ham United, was introduced from the bench in the 65th minute to a roaring applause from the overwhelmingly Arsenal-supporting crowd. His arrival on the pitch was eagerly anticipated, given his status as the most expensive British player in history, following a reported £105 million transfer ($137.5 million, 122.4 million euros).
