Arsenal continued their preparation for the new Premier League season by taking on Aston Villa in a friendly match today.
The Gunners have been busy in the transfer window and after signing players like Gabriel Magalhaes and Willian in this window, Mikel Arteta hopes they fit into his philosophy heading into the new season.
The Spaniard has already won the Community Shield this season, but none of his new signings appeared in the win over Liverpool and there was no room for players like Mesut Ozil either.
If they are going to be involved from the first Arsenal game, it was important that these players played a preparation game with their teammates and the Gunners organized the game against Villa.
The match ended with a 3-2 win for Villa, here are some things to know.
Mesut Ozil could soon return to the starting eleven
Ozil has been fired from Arsenal’s first team since the beginning of the year and did not play a minute in the Premier League restart, but did participate in the game.
Aubameyang continues to show its importance
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang remains a key player for the Gunners and proved this once again in the game with two goals for the club.
Arsenal have a great squad
Despite losing some key players who are in international service, Arsenal still managed to line up players like Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, Nicolas Pepe, Mohamed Elneny, Joe Willock and Emiliano Martinez.
