The match comprised of three, 30 minute periods – with most of both sides’ first team squads getting a run out at some point.

Raya, 27, made his first appearance in an Arsenal shirt since completing his loan move from Brentford.

The Spaniard played 60 minutes for the Gunners as he looked to stake his claim for the No1 spot ahead of Aaron Ramsdale.

Leandro Trossard grabbed two goals for the Gunners, having come off the bench during the weekend’s 2-1 win over Nottingham Forest.

Bukayo Saka grabbed Arsenal’s other goal.

Boss Mikel Arteta was boosted by the return to fitness of two first team stars.

Oleksandr Zinchenko and Reiss Nelson both featured, having missed the bulk of pre-season with respective injury issues.

Arteta, 41, will hope to have both back in Premier League contention very soon.
