‘We didn’t execute well enough’ – Christian Norgaard reacts after scoring his first Arsenal goal but claims Gunners must improve after friendly defeat to Villarreal

Christian Norgaard marked a personal milestone by scoring his first goal for Arsenal, yet the Danish midfielder offered a sobering reflection on his side’s performance following a 3-2 defeat to Villarreal in a pre-season friendly. The Dane found the net just after the half-hour mark but former Tottenham star Arnaut Danjuma further increased the lead to inspire his side to a narrow win.
