Goals and Highlights Arsenal 0-2 Juventus: in Friendly Match.
Juventus come away with a 2-0 win without having to create too much on the attacking front. Arsenal dominated but could not put the ball in the back of the net.
Arsenal have put out another strong lineup as Aaron Ramsdale returns to the first XI after coming back from the World Cup. Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey and Ben White all start.
Arsenal starting lineup (4-2-3-1, left to right): Ramsdale (GK); White, Gabriel, Holding, Tierney — Partey, Xhaka — Odegaard, Vieira, Nelson — Nketiah.
