Arsenal Draw 1-1 Against Angers in Pre-Season Friendly

Arsenal came from behind to draw 1-1 against Angers at the Stade Raymond-Kopa on Wednesday.

Angers took a surprise lead at their home stadium and went ahead through Farid El Melali, who took the ball around Emiliano Martinez before finishing past the Arsenal stopper with aplomb.

Reiss Nelson supplied the equaliser for Arsenal not long after half-time and netted his first pre-season goal from close range to spare the Gunners' blushes.

What's Next?

Arsenal travel to the Camp Nou to face Barcelona in the Joan Gamper Trophy on Sunday, while Angers will focus all their attention on the Ligue 1 season opener against Bordeaux on Saturday, August 10.
