GABRIEL JESUS led Arsenal to a comfortable 2-0 victory against a poor Everton side at the M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
Jesus opened the scoring shortly after the half-hour mark and helped create Bukayo Saka's decider just three minutes later in front of a lively capacity crowd in the US.
The Brazil international showed exactly why Gunners manager Mikel Arteta is so excited with his arrival on the back of his brace against Nurnberg last week.
The star striker's goalscoring streak was extended in Maryland on 33 minutes when he was met by a pinpoint cross from Cedric Soares down the left.
Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford failed to come off his line and the ball reached Jesus at the far post.
The 25-year-old got a marvellous touch and fired the ball to the roof of Pickford's net.

The Toffees were unable to create anything throughout the first half and quickly found themselves in need of something after Jesus' opener.
But it all got worse for the Merseysiders just three minutes later when the Brazilian drove the ball down the left flank in some openspace.
The ex-Manchester City star flicked the ball to the box and Gabriel Martinelli just got a touch that helped set Saka up in the far post.
The England international had enough space to beat Pickford and seal the win for Arsenal.
