Goals from Gabriel Jesus and Emile Smith Rowe gave an Arsenal XI a 2-0 win over Leyton Orient in a behind-closed-doors friendly at the Sobha Realty Training Centre on Saturday.
A team featuring the likes of Martin Odegaard, Ben White, Jurrien Timber and Fabio Vieira were too strong for our League One opponents, and we controlled proceedings for most of the afternoon.
Mikel Arteta's lineup consisted mainly of players who weren't involved at the Euros or Copa America, having had a couple of weeks' training already under their belts.
Youth players Ayden Heaven and Myles Lewis-Skelly were also involved from the start - the former in the centre of defence alongside Jurrien Timber, and Lewis-Skelly starting at left back.
