Monreal slotted home to finish off a flowing move and draw Arsenal level

The 'Gunners' looked like seeing their dismal start to the new campaign continue as Marko Arnautovic gave the visitors the lead after 25 minutes, but just four minutes lated the Spaniard was on hand to draw his side level.

The strike came from Arsenal's first real attack of the game, as Henrikh Mkhitaryan slipped in the overlapping Hector Bellerin down the right.

The Spaniard drove a low ball across the box and beyond the despairing dive of Lukasz Fabianski, giving Monreal the simple task of firing beyond the covering defenders and into the back of the unguarded net.

As if that weren't enough, there were 17 straight successful passes in the build-up to the goal, showing that whilst Arsenal may have changed manager this summer, their desire to play good football remains.
