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.

Martin Odegaard’s wonderful free-kick and Reiss Nelson’s deflected shot were enough to give us back-to-back wins in our mid-season training camp, and secure the Dubai Super Cup in the process.

In a keenly-contested friendly, we came under pressure for spells against Milan, but our two first-half goals were enough for the victory, despite the Italians scoring late on.

It means we maintained our winning form, ahead of the Premier League restart in less than two weeks’ time.

This game marked the culmination of a week-long warm weather break in Dubai, and we came into it buoyed by an excellent performance in the 3-0 win over Lyon in the same stadium last week.

Thomas Partey and Ben White were both named in the starting line-up for the first time after returning from the World Cup in Qatar, as our return to Premier League action on December 26 hovered into view. The two saw plenty of the ball in the opening 45 minutes before being replaced at the interval.

But it was the Italian giants, currently sitting second in Serie A, who looked more dangerous in the early exchanges. The closest either side came in the opening 10 minutes was when former Liverpool striker Divock Origi turned Rob Holding on the edge of the box, before curling his shot against the top of the crossbar.

Holding was in the right place at the right time shortly afterwards though, heading away at the far post after Milan won several corners in quick succession.

After soaking up the pressure, we opened the scoring in fine style. Eddie Nketiah was tripped just outside the box, and up stepped Odegaard who arced his left-footed strike over the wall and beyond the despairing keeper.

Odegaard was lurking for his second shortly afterwards, but Kieran Tierney’s cutback was just beyond him, and at the other end Origi headed wide from an excellent position right in front of Karl Hein’s goal.

Shortly before half-time we doubled our advantage. Fabio Vieira won the ball high up the pitch, burst into the box and laid it off to Nelson. The winger, who celebrated his 23rd birthday on Saturday, calmly took a touch, then dispatched his shot home, via a deflection from Odegaard’s boot. But the initial shot was on target, and Nelson was certainly claiming it.

It had been a fairly even half in fairness, but we had certainly been more efficient in front of goal, and we continued to create chances after the restart. Mohamed Elneny sent a long-range shot just over before Vieira was also just off target when set up by Nelson.

Just as last week’s game against Lyon, this friendly was played with plenty of commitment by both sides. Indeed Nketiah and Elneny both picked up yellow cards in the second half.

Milan pulled one back with a simple header as the game entered the last 15 minutes. They won a free-kick near the byline and England defender Fikayo Tomori was left unmarked in front of goal to head home.

Nathan Butler-Oyedeji, Amario Cozier-Duberry, Lino Sousa, Matt Smith and Ethan Nwaneri came on for the last few minutes, as we held on to take three points from our final group game.

As with every game in this four-team Dubai Super Cup, we concluded with a penalty shootout to see which team earned a bonus point.

Karl Hein made four saves out of five in the first shootout, and made another here to deny Brahim Diaz as we triumphed 4-3.

Here’s how the shootout unfolded:

Cedric – Scored – 1-0
Bennacer – Scored – 1-1
Gabriel – Scored – 2-1
Diaz – Saved – 2-1
Marquinhos – Scored – 3-1
Tonali – Scored 3-2
Elneny – Scored – 4-2
Lazetic – Scored – 4-3
Smith – Saved – 4-3
Krunic – Missed – 4-3
