Arsenal blew their London rivals away in a one-sided Florida Cup final in Orlando on Saturday night. The Gunners notched four times at Camping World Stadium to continue their 100 per cent record in pre-season and lay down a serious marker ahead of the new Premier League campaign.
Mikel Arteta’s side got off to a flying start as Gabriel Jesus continued his superb beginning to life in an Arsenal shirt, producing a brilliant lob to notch his fourth goal in as many games for his new club. Martin Odegaard then fired home for 2-0, before Mason Mount hit the woodwork just before the interval.
Despite Chelsea appearing better equipped after a half-time formation change, Arsenal notched twice more in the second period, with Bukayo Saka netting from close range after an Edouard Mendy double save and Albert Sambi Lokonga popping up with a header from Cedric Soares’ perfect cross deep into stoppage time.
