Arsenal have won the 2022 Dubai Super Cup after beating AC Milan 2-1 on Tuesday.

Martin Odegaard and Reiss Nelson scored first-half goals for the Gunners before former Chelsea center-back Fikayo Tomori got a late consolation for Milan.

Arsenal then beat Milan 4-3 in a penalty shootout to claim an extra bonus point.

Ben White played 45 minutes for Arsenal, 12 days after leaving England's World Cup squad for "personal reasons".

Arsenal's victory over Milan followed a 3-0 win against Lyon last week.

What Is The Dubai Super Cup?

The Dubai Super Cup is a mid-season friendly tournament taking place in the United Arab Emirates.

Arsenal, Liverpool, Lyon and Milan are the teams involved.

Dubai Super Cup Format

Every team plays two matches in a league format.

Arsenal do not play Liverpool, while Lyon and Milan do not meet.

The Dubai Super Cup is different to most soccer tournaments in terms of its points system.

Teams still receive three points for a win and zero for a loss, but a draw is worth two points.

Furthermore, every match ends with a penalty shootout regardless of the 90-minute result. The winner of the shootout receives one bonus point.
