In their final pre-season friendly, Arsenal drew 1-1 with Como at the Emirates Stadium. Myles Lewis-Skelly opened the scoring for Arsenal after capitalizing on a mistake by Como goalkeeper Jean Butez.
However, Martin Baturina equalized for Como before half-time with an impressive strike past Kepa Arrizabalaga. Despite a strong second-half performance from new signing Bruno Guimaraes, who made his debut after joining from Newcastle United for £75 million last week, Arsenal couldn’t find a winner in regular time.
