Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal opened their pre-season tour of Asia with a one-goal win over AC Milan on Wednesday afternoon. Bukayo Saka, so often Arsenal’s hero in the Premier League last season, was again central to this win, tapping home from Jakub Kiwior’s cross shortly after half-time to score what proved to be the winner. The Gunners struggled in front of goal throughout the tie, as just one of their 23 shots found the back of the net.
