00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Mikel Arteda's Arsenal delivered an impressive preseason performance in Spain,

2
00:00:04,839 --> 00:00:07,480
cruising to a four to one victory over La Liga

3
00:00:07,559 --> 00:00:12,119
side Jerona FC at the Estadi Montelavie. The exhibition clash

4
00:00:12,279 --> 00:00:16,440
was headlined by thirty four million pounds summer signing Christo Solis,

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:21,000
scoring on his official debut, while Chiaverts, Gabriel Jesus and

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,839
sixteen year old academy phenom Max Dalmen also found the

7
00:00:24,839 --> 00:00:28,039
back of the net. Arsenal seized control of the tempo

8
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,840
early in Catalonia. In the sixteenth minute, Max Dalman produced

9
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,119
a moment of magic on the turn to evade his

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,920
defender before threading a perfectly weighted through ball to Chiaverts.

11
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:43,159
Fresh off his World Cup campaign with Germany, Hartz strode

12
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,520
into the penalty area and calmly slotted a left footed

13
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:50,359
finish past Jerona goalkeeper Paulo Gazaniga to give the Gunners

14
00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:53,159
the lead. The Gunners doubled their advantage on the half

15
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,640
hour mark through debutant Christos Solis, arriving from Club Brugie

16
00:00:57,679 --> 00:01:01,479
to replace Leandro Trossert. The twenty four year old Greek

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:05,359
international winger cut inside from the left flank, drove into

18
00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:08,079
the box and drilled a low, right footed strike into

19
00:01:08,079 --> 00:01:12,239
the bottom corner via a slight deflection. Soley's direct running

20
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:16,519
and pressing caused persistent problems for Girona's defensive line throughout

21
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:20,319
his first half display. Jerona cut the deficit short after

22
00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:23,519
half time when defender Arnault Martinez rose to convert a

23
00:01:23,599 --> 00:01:28,079
corner header in the fiftieth minute. However, Arsenal extinguished any

24
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,280
prospect of a comeback with a quick fire two goal response.

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:36,200
Just three minutes later. Dowman capped an influential individual performance

26
00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:40,519
by curling a powerful long range drive past Gazaniga. Two

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,280
minutes after that, high pressing from Arsenal forced a defensive

28
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,640
turnover on the edge of the penalty box, allowing Gabriel

29
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:50,680
Jesus to pounce on the loose ball and finish with

30
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,000
composure to make it four to one. The victory caps

31
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,799
off a productive Eastern Spain training camp for mckel Artaeda's side,

32
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:02,439
with returning international players building match sharpness and new signings

33
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,640
integrating seamlessly. Arsenal now shift their attention to Ireland for

34
00:02:06,719 --> 00:02:11,199
their next preseason fixture against Real Batisse at Dublin's Aviva Stadium,
