Although Ethan Nwaneri and Viktor Gyokeres scored for Arsenal, Joane Gadou's goal and the Gunners' poor defending proved costly. Arsenal have suffered consecutive pre-season defeats, raising concerns for manager Mikel Arteta ahead of their Community Shield match against Manchester City. New signing Bruno Guimaraes made his debut before the match.
