65' GOAL! Arsenal 2-0 Fiorentina (Nketiah)

Mkhitaryan dances around the Fiorentina defence to find space on the right-hand side of the box, and he cuts it back to Lacazette who is well-placed in the area.

Match reports
Eddie Nketiah again impressed with a double in Arsenal's 3-0 win over Fiorentina in the International Champions Cup.
The 20-year-old added to his strike against Bayern Munich with goals either side of half-time at the Bank of America Stadium, although Arsenal had things far from their own way for much of the game against their Serie A opponents.
Nketiah's first showed his increasing confidence as he dragged back Sead Kolasinac's low cross away from a defender before slotting in the opener, while his second was a tap-in from an Alexandre Lacazette lay-off.
Fiorentina had numerous chances in either half and with some better finishing would have punished Arsenal's often naive defending, but the Gunners instead added a third late on with Joe Willock's fine finish high into the net and kept up their 100-per-cent record in the cup.
