Tzolis Assists as Arsenal Beat MK Dons 3-0 in Pre-Season Opener

Tzolis Assists as Arsenal Beat MK Dons 3-0 in Pre-Season Opener

New Arsenal signing Christos Tzolis made an immediate impact with an assist as the Gunners opened their pre-season campaign with a 3-0 behind-closed-doors win over MK Dons at the Sobha Realty Training Centre. Reiss Nelson opened the scoring after 10 minutes, finishing a move created by Tzolis and Riccardo Calafiori. Ethan Nwaneri doubled Arsenal’s advantage before half-time with a curled effort from the edge of the box. Mikel Arteta made eight changes at the break, and Ceadach O’Neill added a third after latching onto a chipped pass and firing into the near post. Arsenal’s young players created further late chances but could not extend the scoreline.

How much can we read into Tzolis creating an assist in a behind-closed-doors pre-season opener, even with Arsenal winning 3-0?

I agree, it is a positive sign, but pre-season games should be taken with some caution.

A quick assist is a welcome start for a new signing, while Reiss Nelson getting on the scoresheet adds another positive.

It is encouraging, but one pre-season game against MK Dons should not suddenly set huge expectations for Tzolis.

The useful thing now is giving Tzolis more minutes in the remaining friendlies and seeing how consistently he links with teammates.
