Arsenal won the Emirates Cup, the pre-season tournament trophy, beating Athletic Bilbao 2-0 in a match highlighted by Viktor Gyokeres's debut goal.
The Gunners' anticipation for a goal from the Swedish former Sporting player ended in the 34th minute: Zubimendi's cross found Gyokeres in the heart of the box, and his powerful header opened the scoring, bringing out his signature masked celebration for the first time in London.
Two minutes later, the Swede was involved again, cushioning the ball for Odegaard to launch a quick attack. Martinelli squared it to Saka, who made it 2-0, a fair scoreline considering that, up to that point, David Raya had only been seriously tested once, in response to a shot from Iñigo Galarreta in the 16th minute.
Viktor Gyokeres came off in the 71st minute to make way for Kai Havertz, who, 11 minutes later, made a surging run to slot the ball past Unai Simón for the final 3-0 scoreline. Arsenal's pre-season ends on a high note as they kick off their Premier League campaign on the 17th against Manchester United, a match that marks the reunion between Ruben Amorim and the Swedish striker.
