The Gunners have this afternoon won the Dubai Super Cup. Goals from Martin Odegaard and Reiss Nelson settled the game in normal time before Arsenal went on to claim an extra point in a penalty shootout after the full-time whistle.
Captain Odegaard opened the scoring with a fine free kick, which went over the wall from 22 yards and past the rooted Ciprian Tatarusanu in the Milan goal. Milan, who had started slowly, woke up after going behind and enjoyed plenty of possession, though few clear-cut chances, but Nelson’s deflected effort doubles the Gunners’ lead just before the break.
Again Milan showed more than their opponents in the second half and Fikayo Tomori set up a nervy finale after heading home 12 minutes before time, but the Gunners held out for the win. Read the game back below with our dedicated match blog of the match in Dubai.
