Arsenal 2 Bayern Munich 1: Five things we learned from Eddie Nketiah, late winner of the Gunners

Eddie Nketiah grabbed the winner of the end of the match as Arsenal beat Bayern Munich to start the pre-season tournament of the International Champions Cup with a win.

Nketiah, Arsenal's replacement, scored five minutes from time to prepare for a quick, entertaining and very competitive game in Los Angeles.

In reality, the match could have been a two-way match as both teams had opportunities, but Arsenal's substitutes had made all the difference to give them more energy while Bayern was tired.

Bayern nearly missed after 32 minutes when Thomas Muller saw a close shot for brilliantly saved by Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

But Arsenal should have taken the advantage six minutes later when Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's thunderbolt led a counter-attack. He was playing in Mesut Ozil whose shot was blocked by Manuel Neuer.

Finally, the breakthrough comes three minutes after the restart, after a nice action from Arsenal. Henrikh Mkhitaryan's smart ball found Aubameyang and his center was turned into a net by Bayern defender Louis Poznanski.

The German champions were tied after 71 minutes when Serge Gnabry's center picked Robert Lewandowski, Shkodran Mustafi lost his man and Bayern No9 returned home.

But just as the match was heading for the penalty shootout, Arsenal won the match in the 85th minute. The Tyreece John-Jules Center was donated by Nketiah.

Arsenal now faces Fiorentina in Charlotte on Saturday before finishing the tournament against Real Madrid in Washington.

Mesut Ozil is demarcated

And not just because of her faded blond hair. Arsenal's No. 10 Mercurial was busy, busy, and often in motion, searching for the ball. He leaked it, could have scored and picked pbades.

The fact is that Ozil is definitely not a natural choice for a Unai Emery team and yet, because of his salary of £ 350,000 a week, you have to try to make it work from One way or another and this will have to be a two-way street. .

If Ozil continues to work hard and make efforts, then surely there must be a place for a player with such scandalous talent.

Joe Willock to watch

This could be a great year for the Arsenal teenage midfielder. He started against Bayern Munich, played alongside Granit Xhaka, seemed strong and very comfortable in possession of the ball. He is also not afraid to put his foot in the board and was arguably the best player in Arsenal.

You have the feeling that as he continues to progress, he could have more first-team minutes this season. Certainly someone who has a chance and deserves to be watched.

The yellow Arsenal kit is a winner

The new band of "bruised bananas" is a comeback in the early 1990s and for the obsessed kit like me, it looks fantastic.

He's already starting to attract attention because a lot of fans wear it. The bruised banana effect is a little less obvious, but it still looks handsome and fans of Arsenal hope to enjoy the good time experienced by Ian Wright and Co at the time.

Ainsley Maitland-Niles regains confidence

We must remember that he is a midfielder, that he was only 21 years old and that his performance in the Europa League final was a two-part match: excellent first 45 , nightmare after rest.

But Maitland-Niles was pretty good on first base as Arsenal started with a conventional four back, he worked hard on the flank and seems to have regained some of his confidence in him. In truth, Kingsley Coman caused him problems when he came in, but Maitland-Niles stuck to his task.

Arsenal could be without Hector Bellerin until the end of the fall, Maitland-Niles will play again. This is a good start.

Shkodran Mustafi is not an option

Unai Emery could soften, play Mustafi and bet on the fact that he is a German international, it cost 35 million pounds sterling so he can not be so bad, huh? Oh yes he can.

Mustafi started the pre-season while he was stopped in the last quarter with sloppy defenses, lack of concentration and lack of focus.

Honestly, Valencia has yet to laugh about the time it has collected 35 million pounds for the defender who played for Germany.

His distribution was mediocre, he endangered his teammates, was careless and undecided. Mustafi was off, lost his man and allowed Robert Lewandowski to go home with the equalizer. It was embarrbading.

It's easy to say that it's enough to sell it. But there are no takers and Mustafi does not want to leave. Why would he? However, they can no longer afford to play it because it will cost them more goals.
