Chuba Akpom scored the deciding goal in the 87th minute from about 4 yards out on a cross from the left side by Nacho Monreal, and Arsenal topped the MLS All-Stars 2-1 in the Major League Soccer All-Star Game on Thursday.
Once Arsenal's young substitutes got going after entering midway through the second half, the scoring chances came.
Moments before halftime, Montreal's Didier Drogba scored on his third try following two deflections in one quick sequence for MLS to notch it at 1.
Drogba's first attempt ricocheted off goalkeeper Petr Cech then the next off Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain before he converted with a shot to the right upper corner of the net in the second minute of stoppage time in the first half.
