We saw our mid-season break come to an end with a defeat against Juventus, despite us dominating the game throughout.
Goals in stoppage time at the end of both halves saw us fall to defeat, with a Granit Xhaka own goal and a strike from London-born Samuel Iling-Junior proving the difference on the scoresheet.
Despite that, we bossed proceedings throughout and saw two goals for Eddie Nketiah ruled out either side of the break – and elements of the performance will have pleased Mikel Arteta ahead of the return of the Premier League on Boxing Day.
The opening 20 minutes were played almost exclusively in the visitors’ half, and we carved out some good early opportunities during that period.
Less than two minutes had passed when Reiss Nelson cut inside and rippled the side-netting, and then he produced some excellent control and skill to tee up Fabio Vieira on the volley, but the Portuguese’s blast was parried over by Juve keeper Mattia Perin.
Nelson’s bright start sadly came to a premature end when he limped off with a muscle injury after just 22 minutes, but we continued to be the dominant side and on 32 minutes Eddie Nketiah was denied twice within 60 seconds.
He firstly saw a goal ruled out for offside after tucking away a deflected Kieran Tierney shot, and then from the resulting free-kick a poor pass along the backline allowed our striker a shooting chance but he thumped his effort against the post.
But despite all that pressure, we found ourselves behind at half-time. On a rare foray forward, Juve won a corner and after it was cleared back out to Nicoli Fagioli, his cross was inadvertently flicked on into his own net by the head of Xhaka to hand the advantage to the Italians.
The second half once again saw us control possession and territory but struggle to create the same amount of opportunities. Nketiah did get the ball in the net around the hour mark, but he was again thwarted by the referee who adjudged Gabriel to have fouled a defender following a corner into the Juve box.
That brought about the introduction of Amario Cozier-Duberry and he looked lively during his stint on the pitch, regularly causing issues down the left flank as we probed for an equaliser.
Massimiliano Allegri’s side sat back throughout the second half and were content to soak up all our pressure, but Fagioli did go close with a drive from the edge of the box that whistled over the returning Aaron Ramsdale’s crossbar.
Late on, Ethan Nwaneri was also introduced for his first appearance for our first-team at Emirates Stadium, and he flashed an attempt just wide after some neat footwork on the edge of the area.
But right at the death, former Highbury resident Iling-Junior found space in the box and saw a shot deflect off Rob Holding to ensure our World Cup break ended with an undeserved defeat.

BANTER FC 🤣🤣🤣
London is blue always…
We need a better striker. I wanted us to sign Gakpo but it seems we are not pursuing him.
Arteta should reflect on this result. His squad's depth aren't good enough
Nketiah can't score with a gaping net. We're already in trouble.
gol pertama bukannya kena kaki pemain juventus? Offside??
こんなにアーセン弱かったっけって。拍子抜けだったわ
We need Gabriel Jesus in our attack unless premier league might be more complex for us to win
Eddie masterclass 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾what a player just give him a lifetime contract
Allegri masterclass
🤣🤣🤣
Arsenal is already testing what happens in champions league after a long period of time mujjajiwulira
Took my son out to freeze his nuts off seeing juventus score two of the luckiest goals in their history😳
Then to top it off when we went for hotdogs, nothing was left!
Y

I know Jesus hadn't scored in like 10 games but he provided so much more to the team that Nketiah just doesn't unfortunately
This is so hilarious 😂 two own goals 😅
Mudryk news?
does anyone happen to know what font they use for all their stuff, the one used for the word 'highlights' on the thumbnail
I think we need two prayers this January, a mid fielder and one forward.
My two fav teams fight to each other.
Unlucky Nketiah. You need to reclaim your confidence bro.
Samuel Iling jr. Hope he got much minutes.
Let's do both win the league!
COYG, Forza Juve
winning while not shooting to the goal… that is how football need the lady luck… btw, we need a world class striker at least to keep the momentum in the league… its in our hand now.. all other clubs are improving their team
I went to see this match, and I did not realise how we conceded second goal.
Now I got it😭
It’s quite sad to see arsenal loose but it feels better that it’s a friendly we where using our 3rd choice of keeper and also if both teams had a full team we’d thrash juve
Arsenal stupid
Imagine
19 Shorts on target and zero goal
During the entire first half arsenal where all over Juventus, don’t know how we didn’t manage to score.
I'm here to just say one thing… please sign Ounahi of Morocco. Our midfield will be the strongest
Don't worry guys with these Man utd fans in the comment section,since the break of EPL they haven't won a single friendly 🤣😅😅the only thing that should worry us is our target man,that's all, because even in this game only Arsenal players scored.COYG
Eddie is not the one to fill Jesus shoes we will fall down that table without him bring in mudryk nd a loan striker
Really lucky for Juventus LOL
Cozier duberry on the left martinelli through the middle and Saka on the right would be a great front line
My life is totally changed because I've been earning $43k returns from my $9,500 investment
Juve was just lucky
How on earth is that an offside 😳😳😳
Well played it just shows us how strong our first team is
Eddie please calm down and keep your head up. If you can't score try contributing in a different way.
G. Xhaka what a header. If only he knew which side he is playing for. But OG or not it was an awesome goal.
