Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof helped Sweden beat Armenia in their final match before Euro 2020.
After goals by Emil Forsberg and Marcus Danielson sent the hosts into a commanding lead in Stockholm, former Arsenal and Birmingham midfielder Sebastian Larsson had a penalty saved.
Lindelof was denied before Vahan Bichakhchyan pulled a goal back.
Substitute Marcus Berg restored Sweden's two-goal cushion in Saturday's friendly.
Sweden launch their Euro 2020 campaign against Spain in Seville on 14 June.
