Arsenal have beaten Everton 2-0 in their first game of the pre-season tour of the United States.
The Gunners enjoyed a relaxed evening as they rode out winners in a game Everton never really threatened in.
Gabriel Jesus continued his fine start to his Arsenal career, scoring the opening goal from Gabriel Martinelli's corner.
Advert
Bukayo Saka added the second, getting on the end of a ball from Jesus to make it comfortable for Arsenal.
Here are your player ratings:
Matt Turner: 7
Turner's debut in Germany was a little shaky but the American looked a lot more comfortable in more usual surroundings tonight.
Advert
He was called into action twice, saving an ambitious effort from the half-way line and a shot from Nkounkou and earned his clean sheet.
The stopper's distribution was good, keeping calm as he played the ball in between his defenders.
A good night for Turner.
Cedric: 5
Some decent passes from Cedric and an assist as Jesus got on the end of his corner, but nothing overly notable to earn him anymore than a five.
Advert
He was substituted for Hector Bellerin at half-time.
William Saliba: 8
Saliba's return to Arsenal has been very, very much anticipated.
Advert
While only a friendly, the defender showed what he is all about. Incredibly solid and fast to shut down attacks but what is more remarkable is his ability on the ball.
Cruyff turns, drag-backs, the young man has it all and couldn't be more relaxed about it.
Arsenal fans, be very excited.
Advert
Gabriel: 7
The kind of performance we have become used to from Gabriel.
The Brazilian is virtually a brick-wall in defence. Some misplaced passes from Gabriel tonight, but a solid performance none-the-less.
Nuno Tavares: 5
Not a bad night for Tavares, but not great either. Similarly to Cedric, nothing too notable.
Thomas Partey: 8
Vintage Thomas Partey. Smooth as butter.
Gliding past challenges, spraying passes left and right and breaking up attacks.
Any Arsenal success this season will involve Thomas Partey remaining fit.
Granit Xhaka: 6
Solid night for Xhaka, got on the ball a lot and managed to hit the post but not as involved as you would normally expect.
Bukayo Saka: 7
Welcome back Bukayo.
The star did his thing, scoring the second goal from Gabriel Jesus' ball after finding space in the box.
Words can't describe how imperative his new contract is.
Martin Odegaard: 6
Clean and tidy from Arsenal's imminent captain.
The Norwegian kept things moving and was involved in most of Arsenal's passing moves, as he always is.
Gabriel Martinelli: 7
Martinelli was his usual relentless self, constantly pressing and creating chances.
While he didn't get on the ball, he played a part in the second goal, creating space with his run for Saka to finish.
A big season beckons for Martinelli, the Brazilian is constantly improving and will do again.
Gabriel Jesus: 9
Tonight's man of the match and the main man when it comes to Arsenal right now.
With a goal and an assist to add to his brace from Germany, it has been a scorching start to the forward's Arsenal career.
Pressing, dropping deep, dribbling, passing, finishing, this lad can do it all.
Arsenal have got themselves a serious, serious striker.
Notable substitutes
Eddie Nketiah: 7
The young striker is playing like a man with a point to prove. A constant live-wire.
Nketiah came on at half-time and instantly ran at his man, beating him until the only option was to give away a free-kick.
The Englishman has seemingly bulked up and looks a different player to what we've seen in previous seasons.
Nketiah is progressing all the time, and is showing no sign of stopping at the moment.
Mikel Arteta will be happy with the performance from his players, who didn't look challenged by Everton at any point.
Arsenal now fly south to take on Orlando City before finishing their US tour against Chelsea.
