The Gunners lost 3-2 against Villarreal on Wednesday as Viktor Gyokeres got off to a slow start on his first start since his big-money arrival from Sporting Lisbon. Arsenal have made plenty of new signings but defensively they looked shaky and Arteta will be a little concerned after back-to-back defeats to Tottenham Hotspur and Villarreal in preseason.

First-half goals from new signing Viktor Gyokeres and Bukayo Saka gave the Gunners a 2-0 half time lead. Kai Havertz completed the scoring late on before Arsenal also won a post-match penalty shootout 6-5.

Viktor Gyokeres opened his account for Arsenal as the Gunners ended pre-season with an emphatic 3-0 win over Athletic Bilbao.
