After all of the chatter and all of the excitement about expensive signings, a win secured by those reared in-house.
With 24 minutes left of this friendly, Arsenal were being held by Orlando City. Gabriel Martinelli's opener had been cancelled out by Facundo Torres in the second match of their US tour. By the end, though, Mikel Arteta's side had run out 3-1 winners, thanks to goals from academy graduates Eddie Nketiah and Reiss Nelson – the latter assisted by fellow Hale End alumni, Bukayo Saka.
Watching on from the stands in Orlando was Oleksandr Zinchenko.
