Arsenal edge AC Milan in Singapore friendly
Arsenal continued their pre-season tour with a narrow 1-0 victory over AC Milan at the National Stadium in Singapore, as both European giants tested their squads in humid Far East conditions.
Ukrainian international Oleksandr Zinchenko started the game for the Gunners, playing the full first half before being replaced by young talent Ethan Nwaneri at the break. Manager Mikel Arteta opted for six changes at halftime, giving valuable minutes to several squad members.
Despite dominating the stats — with 23 shots to Milan's 3 and 9 efforts on target versus 1 — Arsenal had to wait until the 53rd minute to break the deadlock. Defender Jakub Kiwior provided the assist, setting up Bukayo Saka, who calmly slotted home the decisive goal.
