Borussia Dortmund secured a 3-2 pre-season victory against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
The high-profile friendly fixture served as a tough test for Mikel Arteta's squad before their upcoming FA Community Shield clash with Manchester City in Cardiff next Sunday.
The German side established an early lead, capitalising on a defensive lapse to break the deadlock before doubling their advantage through a clinical counter attack.
Arsenal responded in the secondary period as new signing Christos Tzolis linked up neatly with Bukayo Saka to reduce the deficit.
Saka subsequently brought the Gunners level with a composed finish from inside the penalty area.
However, Dortmund struck late in the contest to secure the win, exploiting space in the channels as both managers made sweeping changes.
Arsenal will conclude their domestic pre-season preparations with a midweek fixture against Italian outfit Como on Wednesday.
