Arsenal vs. Chivas Guadalajara: Score, Reaction from 2016 International Friendly





Arsenal picked up their second win of the preseason on Sunday, beating Chivas Guadalajara 3-1 at StubHub Center in Carson, California.

Rob Holding, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Chuba Akpom were the goalscorers for the Gunners in a comprehensive victory.

Although Holding was the scorer, Calum Chambers deserves the lion's share of credit for Arsenal's opening goal in the 33rd minute. Chambers peeled away from his marker to get on the end of Santi Cazorla's free kick delivered on the edge of the six-yard box. Chambers' pass across goal left Holding with an easy finish.



Fox Soccer provided a replay of the goal:

Theo Walcott nearly doubled the Gunners' lead in the 35th minute. Antonio Rodriguez made a point-blank save to stymie the English attacker.

Despite Chivas taking a one-goal deficit into the halftime break, ESPN FC's Tom Marshall wasn't entirely displeased by what he saw from the club:

Chivas 0-1 Arsenal at the break. Some positives for Chivas, although the defense looks shaky.
However, those defensive deficiencies Marshall alluded to were laid bare early in the second half.

GOAL! 2-0. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has been a standout for Arsenal in pre-season and he's just scored a pearler, even better than in Lens

Oxlade-Chamberlain displayed his pace and technical skill as he beat two Chivas players en route to goal in the 50th minute. His cut back to get the ball onto his left foot was a thing of beauty. Fox Soccer provided a replay of the stunning individual effort by the 22-year-old winger:

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ . The story is that he 'never socialized with Amber off set, other than a cast dinner', and adds that he had no on-set contact with her either, other than in a professional capacity.
