It's all relative isn't it. Like Nicolas Pepe himself said he wouldn't have got as much bad press if he'd only cost £20m.

Antony syndrome.

Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli heads wide from a Ben White cross. Got his angles wrong.

Villarreal have a corner but Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres heads it out.

Gabriel Martinelli tries a bicycle kick, quite low to the ground, and doesn't make any contact with the ball.

Turns out that move at 22 minutes, it was actually Mikel Merino who got the header in. Wasn't a test for the keeper but does count as a shot on target. Not that anybody should be worrying about stats in a pre-season friendly.

Chance for Bukayo Saka. The Arsenal forward gets the ball on the right side of the box, cuts back onto his left foot and shoots towards the near post but it's a simple save.

Nicolas Pepe managed 24 goals and 15 assists in 91 matches during his first two seasons with Arsenal and has said he was only called a flop because of his £72m price tag.

"If Arsenal bought me for £20m, maybe it'd be different," he told the BBC last year. "It's not the player's fault."

The silence when Pepe scored then was incredible. There is next to no Villarreal supporters in the stadium so there was an eery silence when the team went to celebrate with Pepe.

Pape Gueye's shot was tipped onto the post by goalkeeper David Raya seconds before that goal.

Bukayo Saka crosses and Viktor Gyokeres sticks up a boot but can't get it under control.

Ethan Nwaneri - playing in midfield today - swings in a free-kick from deep but it's a simple catch for Luiz Junior.

Lovely run by Bukayo Saka down the right and loses a man with a shimmy but his cross is headed out.

Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri gets the ball, instantly turns and shoots from about 25 yards out but he drags it wide.

Gabriel Martinelli's cross lands on the head of Bukayo Saka but the Gunners forward can't get it on target from close range.

Bukayo Saka involved centrally in a move but it ends with his heavy touch in the box.

Yep it's winger Nicolas Pepe, who Arsenal once spent £72m on.
