Arsenal kicked off their pre-season with a 2-1 defeat by Hibernian.

Mikel Arteta’s side conceded once in each half against the Scottish Premiership side at Easter Road.

Firstly Martin Boyle tapped into an empty next after a mistake from goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo and then, after the break, sub Daniel Mackay nodded in Hibs’s second with his first touch after coming off the bench.
