Viking FK vs. Arsenal: Score, Reaction from 2016 Pre-Season Friendly

Arsenal cruised to their easiest win of the 2016-17 pre-season so far on Friday, beating Norwegian side Viking FK 8-0 at the Viking Stadion in Jattavagen, Norway.

The Gunners dominated the first half and deservedly took the lead through Joel Campbell after 33 minutes. Santi Cazorla missed a penalty early, but he made up for the miss after the break, doubling the team's lead.

Theo Walcott made it 3-0 shortly after, opening the floodgates. An own goal and another strike from Campbell made it 5-0 before the hour mark, and Alex Iwobi also got his name on the scoresheet with a brace.
