Arsenal 5 - 3 Barcelona : Arsenal beat Barcelona in feisty SoFi Stadium friendly
INGLEWOOD, Calif. -- Arsenal signed off their preseason tour of the United States with a 5-3 win over Barcelona in a feisty friendly at SoFi Stadium.
Robert Lewandowski gave the La Liga side a seventh-minute lead before Bukayo Saka equalised in a first half punctuated by a plethora of rough tackles.
Saka missed a penalty to give the Gunners -- whose owners, Kroenke Sports Enterprises, also count the Los Angeles Rams among their sports teams -- a lead they would have deserved but instead Barca scored next as Raphinha's deflected free-kick beat Aaron Ramsdale.
Kai Havertz turned the ball home from close range before a brace from Leandro Trossard -- who impressed throughout -- put Arsenal 4-2 in front. Ferran Torres replied for Barcelona but Fabio Vieira capped a victory Mikel Arteta's side merited for their overall performance in front of 70,223 fans.
