Bukayo Saka was on target as Arsenal began their pre-season with a 1-0 win over AC Milan in Singapore.

Mikel Arteta gave Christian Norgaard his debut from the start with the Gunners the better of the two teams for much of the game.

After a goalless first half, Arsenal made several changes with the Spanish pair of Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi making their debuts.

The winning goal came eight minutes into the second half when Jakub Kiwior sent in a curling cross to the far post where Bukayo Saka was on target to finish.

Arteta made more changes in the 66th minute including the introduction of two 15-year-olds as Marli Salmon and Max Dowman both took to the pitch.

Arsenal should have won by a bigger margin but goalkeeper Lorenzo Torriani made some fine saves later on to keep the score at 1-0.

The Gunners continue their pre-season with a game against Premier League rivals Newcastle United next.
