Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain stars as Arsenal beat CD Guadalajara in Los Angeles

Chamberlain stars as Arsenal win in LA

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain scored his second goal in three pre-season friendlies to help Arsenal register a 3-1 win over Club Deportivo Guadalajara in Los Angeles on Sunday.

The 22-year-old, who missed the closing stages of last season and Euro 2016 due to injury, showed individual skill as he netted five minutes into the second half.

Summer signing Rob Holding also got on the scoresheet and Chuba Akpom recorded his second goal in two games, while Angel Zaldivar nabbed a consolation goal from the penalty spot for the Mexican club.

Calum Chambers produced the assist for Holding's 33-minute opener, and a dominant Arsenal side extended their lead after the half-time interval through Oxlade-Chamberlain.

The England international drove towards the box from the right-hand side before setting himself up with a back-heel and sliding the ball around the keeper and into the bottom left corner.

Akpom scored six minutes later and with just over a quarter of an hour remaining, Guadalajara were awarded a penalty after Mathieu Debuchy fouled Alex Zendejas in the box.

Zaldivar managed to find the back of the net from the spot, but it failed to inspire a comeback.

Arsenal's next friendly will be against Viking FK this Friday.
