The Gunners were the side which took on the MLS All-Stars this summer. Mikel Arteta's side came out on top with a 5-0 scoreline.

Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring early for Arsenal at Audi Field in Washington DC. Leandro Trossard doubled the Gunners' advantage midway through the first half.

Jorginho added a third from the penalty spot at the start of the second half, before Gabriel Martinelli scored Arsenal's fourth towards full-time. New signing Kai Havertz scored the fifth and final goal before the final whistle.

It meant the game ended 5-0 and with that set a new record. It is now the greatest winning margin by a side in an MLS All-Stars game, eclipsing the record that United had held with their victory in the 2010 edition.
