Arsenal 2-2 Kitchee FC

Arsenal completed their pre-season tour of Asia with a draw against Kitchee FC in Hong Kong.

After falling behind after just seven minutes after a mistake from Igansi Miquel Arsenal were forced to respond, playing in front of an estimated crowd of 40,000.

The Gunners equalised on 24 minutes, Theo Walcott receiving the ball from Abou Diaby and calmy slotting home from close range.

Arsenal's defensive frailties were once again exposed before half-time, conceding to go into the break 2-1 down.

The Gunners made a host of changes and managed to find a goal on 78 minutes, scored by Thomas Eisfeld after an assist from Gervinho.

Just one more friendly away to FC Cologne remains before Arsenal begin their Premier League campaign at home to Sunderland on August 18.
