Arsenal had a busy week with multiple events. They secured a definite victory against Luton Town in a friendly match played at London Colney without spectators.
The game was divided into three segments of 30 minutes each. The encounter marked the debut of David Raya, while Reiss Nelson and Oleksandr Zinchenko also got some game time.
The goal scorers were Leandro Trossard with a brace and Bukayo Saka with another goal.
In week 1 match against Nottingham Forest, Arsenal won 2-1, but Mikel Arteta emphasized the importance of clinical finishes in future matches.
He pointed out missed opportunities and urged his players to refine their skills.
“When you play games of that type, it has to finish three, four, five,” Arteta said on Thursday.
“We didn’t do it and that’s why in the Premier League if you give something to the opponent, it’s always going to be a nervy ending unfortunately.
“We conceded [a chance] in the first half that was directly after a second ball they hooked and they are through.
“Then they countered after a set play, with both coming from a goal kick and the one coming from a corner, but after that nothing else.
“When you dominate the game as much as we did the other day and the situations that you have, the final pass is still not neat enough or good enough to finish the actions better. That’s what we have to improve.”
