Arsenal enhanced their pre-season preparations by overcoming Manchester United in Los Angeles, with goals from Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli sealing the victory.
The two Brazilian players, looking to redeem themselves after a disappointing 2023-24 season, each found the net to lead Arsenal’s comeback win.
Following the match, Arsenal participated in a penalty shootout that ended with Manchester United winning 4-3, as misses from Kai Havertz and Jakub Kiwior proved costly.
After competing against Bournemouth and United in Los Angeles, Arsenal will head to Philadelphia on Sunday for a friendly clash with Liverpool at Lincoln Financial Field on Wednesday.
The Athletic’s writer James McNicholas was present at SoFi Stadium to provide immediate analysis of Arsenal’s friendly triumph over Erik ten Hag’s squad.
Has Jesus regained his form?
This summer, Arsenal remains hopeful of bolstering their forward options — but finding a replacement better than a fit and motivated Jesus will be challenging.
While many teammates engaged in international tournaments, Jesus concentrated on improving his physical fitness. His aim is to return to the outstanding form he displayed upon joining Arsenal in summer 2022.
Last season saw him score only four goals across 27 Premier League matches. His finishing struggled — compounded by ongoing knee issues that hampered both his fitness and availability. During this summer window, Arsenal were even open to offers for the 27-year-old; however, no acceptable bids materialized.
This situation does not concern manager Mikel Arteta, who continues to appreciate Jesus’ character, adaptability, and tactical awareness. Should Jesus maintain his fitness levels—and recapture close-to-best form—Arsenal will benefit significantly from it.
“He looks really good,” noted Arteta. “He seems sharp and has made several changes over the summer; he returned fit again. When you have such a solid foundation other aspects can be developed; without that base you lack a key player—and he needs this condition to reach his best self. He has recognized this fact and I’m truly pleased with what he’s demonstrated today.”
This prompts an inquiry: what has changed?
“That question is for him,” said Arteta. “But it is clear—just look at how he moves: there’s rhythm back in him along with sharpness; even his eyes show renewed spark because now he has something significant riding on proving himself—and that’s encouraging.”
Is Nwaneri the standout talent from the academy?
Following recent high-profile exits from its academy program,A discussion emerged about whether Hale End’s renowned football production might be diminishing.
However,testament during this tour demonstrates new talent starting make strides into Arteta’s roster.
17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri secured midfield placement after an impressive display during Wednesday’s draw (1–1) versus Bournemouth; positioned as left eight beside Martin Odegaard while Jorginho provided support deeper.
The teenager enjoyed another promising outing by running behind defenders before assisting one goal via cross intended for back post which eventually led Jesús equalizer despite offside appeals quickly dismissed.,
