Ben White and Thomas Partey made their first team comebacks as Arsenal defeated AC Milan 2-1 to win the Dubai Super Cup. Karl Hein's stop from Brahim Diaz and Rade Krunic's miss helped the Gunners win the farcical penalty shootout 4-3, putting the finishing touches on the outcome.

Milan made the majority of the early running and were unfortunate not to grab the lead on minute 11 when former Liverpool striker Origi turned Holding before curling a shot from the edge of the box off the bar.

The Gunners finally scored against the pace of the game after surviving several corners and battling Milan's press. Captain Odegaard scored the goal after Nketiah was fouled on the edge of the box. His perfectly timed free kick flew past the Milan defense and inside Tatarusanu's post. (GOAL 1-0)
