It looked like Emery started with the very best team available to him at the moment, and the official team was…..
Leno
Maitland-Niles
Mustafi
Sokratis
Monreal
Xhaka
Willock
Mhkitaryan
Ozil
Aubameyang
Lacazette
It was no surprise that there was much sloppy play considering that both sides were decidedly un-matchfit after the summer on the beach, but the Gunners certainly seemed to have much more control of the game, and although the opening goal just after the break was a lucky deflection from a speculative shot by Aubameyang, it was definitely a deserved lead.
It was that man Lewandowski who finally put Bayern back in the game with a well-drilled header with 20 minutes to go, and despite many close misses we finally put the game to bed with a scrappy goal from Eddie Nketiah, who seems to be making a habit of scoring late goals. We definitely want to see much more of him this coming season.
Anyway, hee you can watch a very good highlights video of the game and make up your own mind about who played well or not…
Enjoy!
