Arsenal wrapped up their pre-season campaign with a 1-1 draw against Serie A's Como, before edging a pre-agreed penalty shootout 4-3, according to BBC News.
Mikel Arteta labelled the friendly "a really good test" as his side prepare to face Manchester City in Sunday's Community Shield. The Gunners boss was particularly pleased with the performance of youngster Ethan Nwaneri, who continues to impress during the club's preparations for the new campaign.
With competitive action just days away, the result and performance level against Como appear to have given Arteta reassurance ahead of a testing opener against Pep Guardiola's City side.
