It came just 24 hours after the German was subject to widespread ridicule for his performance in the volley challenge against the all-stars, in which he became the first player in its five-year history to not score with a single attempt, something that plenty of rival fans were quick to jibe at given his £65m price tag this summer.
In the aftermath of his goal, he simply took to Twitter to voice his reaction, writing ‘hav that’ followed by a bullseye emoji and a yawning face.

‘But in all seriousness.. Really nice feeling to get my first Arsenal goal!’, he added in a follow-up tweet. ‘Thank you to the fans for the amazing support this week!’.
The Gunners next play Premier League rivals Manchester United as they step up their pre-season campaign, with the two sides set to meet on July 22nd at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
