Arsenal's unbeaten start to pre-season continued with a 4-1 win over Girona in a friendly match. However, the win was marred by streaming issues that frustrated fans.
The match was available to stream on the club's official platforms, but technical issues meant some fans were unable to access the stream. The club later moved coverage to YouTube, where the match was made available for free.
Why it matters for Arsenal
The win was a positive start to the pre-season for Mikel Arteta's side, but the streaming issues will be a concern for the club. The Gunners are looking to build on their 1st place finish in the Premier League last season.
Arsenal will face Real Betis on Wednesday before taking on Borussia Dortmund in the Emirates Cup next Sunday. They will then conclude their preparations against Como, managed by former Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas, four days before their Community Shield clash with Manchester City.
Key players
Christos Tzolis made his debut for the Gunners, scoring a goal in the 30th minute. The Greece international joined Arsenal from Club Brugge last month.
Transfer news
Arsenal are closing in on a deal for Newcastle midfielder Bruno Guimaraes, with the Brazilian edging closer to a move after the two clubs made progress over a fee. The Gunners have also been linked with a move for Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr, who is currently in talks over a new contract.
League standing
Arsenal are 6 points clear of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table, with a goal difference of +38.
Next fixture
Arsenal's next fixture is against Fulham at home on 2027-02-20, where they will look to continue their winning streak.
