A friendly match between Arsenal and Bournemouth ended with a final result of 5-4 (penalty). Arsenal used many of its young talents as the starting lineup in this game. Some academic players were also balling crazy against Bournemouth. I pay attention to some players who ran the show in this game.
Ode played very well in this game, and he looks several levels above everyone on the field. And again, Nwaneri had a good performance. He was a young player, but he looked very smart and ready to play with the senior players.
There is so much exciting stuff in this game. Though Arsenal won through penalties. But, it shows how Arsenal has so many great young talents, and they've all progressed. I don't mind the result as this is only a pre-season match. I'm feeling optimistic if Arsenal can enter the title race again in the upcoming season.
arsenal proved that they will be strong candidates to compete for the premier league title next season if the performance shown by arsenal is really stable in the pre-season matches they are currently playing, and it is not impossible that arteta will present a trophy next season.
In terms of statistics, the match was quite balanced between the two teams with almost equal opportunities from both, a draw was very reasonable in this match, I like some of the potential that Arsenal wants to see.
You completely forgot that Arsenal have always been the best challengers in the English Premier League, because they have always been Manchester City's toughest competitors in the top flight, so surely they are preparing again as well as possible to be able to get the championship in the coming season now.
