Arsenal concluded their pre-season tour of the USA with a 4-0 win over Chelsea.
First-half goals from Gabriel Jesus and Martin Odegaard had the Gunners in cruise control going into the break before Bukayo Saka struck just after the hour mark to end any hope of a comeback from the Blues and then Albert Sambi Lokonga put the icing on the cake in injury time.
Perhaps the only negative from the game for Arsenal was an injury scare to Gabriel Jesus as he requested to be substituted with a muscle problem. But having trained at London Colney on Tuesday, it's safe to say the £45m summer signing is fully fit and raring to get the season started.

Given how well the USA tour had gone prior to facing the Blues - recording wins over Everton and Orlando City - as expected there was a feel-good atmosphere amongst the Gunners players as well as supporters ahead of kick-off and the final result only served to improve things.
And it just so happens that the mood was captured by the club, as they posted an 'Access All Areas' video to Arsenal.com and the 15-minute clip took fans behind the scenes for the game against Chelsea at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Florida.
From Mohamed Elneny cheering on his teammates as they emerged from the tunnel, Oleksandr Zinchenko making his first appearance for the club following his move from Manchester City to the post-match celebrations - as mooted as they were - there was a number cool moments spotted.
One of which was the reunion between Gabriel Jesus and Raheem Sterling. It was only at the end of May when they were celebrating winning another Premier League title together, but much has changed since with the pair swapping Manchester for London this month.
In total their transfer fees have helped Man City recoup £92.5m and it was Sterling - who cost Chelsea £47.5m - that approached Arsenal's new number nine in the tunnel right before the two teams were about to emerge and the former teammates exchanged words before focusing on the task ahead.
Meanwhile, during the post-match celebrations, Granit Xhaka was able to accomplish a life-long mission by meeting former Brazil, Barcelona and AC Milan star Rivaldo and the Arsenal midfielder even plucked up the courage to approach the 'left-footed legend' for a picture.
Of course, Rivaldo duly obliged, leaving Xhaka with a memory he won't forget any time soon: "Grew up watching this left-footed legend - mad to meet him," the Switzerland international wrote on Instagram.
