Elneny makes scoring return for Arsenal return against MK Dons

Mohamed Elneny made a goalscoring return in his first Arsenal match since 2019 as they defeated League One side MK Dons 4-1 in a pre-season friendly fixture.

The 28-year-old made an immediate return to the Gunners' starting XI on Tuesday after returning from his loan spell at Besiktas last week.

In the fifth minute, Elneny capitalised on goalkeeper Lee Nicholls' poor clearance to break the deadlock at Stadium MK from 35 yards.

It was his first goal for Arsenal since he scored in their 6-0 bashing of BATE in a Uefa Europa League outing back in December 2017.
