Unai Emery has promised to give more youngsters a chance this season after a late victory over Bayern Munich.
Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah scored a goal in the 85th minute after teenager Tyreece John-Jules managed to give a perfect center.
Emery insists it's important to play with the kids as it's part of the club's history and tradition after Arsenal's pre-season international championship tournament kicked off.
Gunners boss Emery said, "In this club, our responsibility for history, the present and the future is to give young players a chance. If they deserve minutes, they will have minutes. I am very happy with them and their work.

"We are going to play against Fiorentina on Saturday and we are going to appeal to young players. This is another opportunity for them to show us how they can react.
"For them, it's important that every game and every training gives their performance and their energy. We have the responsibility with young players to give them chances.
"We want to use different young players to help. Some players will be with us in pre-season, others will be with us in the season.
"Every minute, they show their performance against big players. For example the one-to-one [Eddie] Nketiah against [Niklas] Sule showed how he can respond. Today 's day was very positive.

"It depends on their performance. Against the Colorado Rapids, many young players played.
"We need them for the moment but also for the future.
Reiss Nelson also replaced Bayern as a substitute, while Joe Willock was extremely impressive in the middle of the field.
The center deflected by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave Arsenal the advantage before Robert Lewandowski was equalized before Nketiah came off late.
Young striker Nketiah is a loan target for Bristol City.
