New signing Gabriel Jesus scored his fourth goal of pre-season as Arsenal comfortably beat Chelsea 4-0 in a friendly in Florida on Saturday.
The Gunners dominated the match in front of a record 63,811 fans at Orlando's Camping World Stadium.
Jesus, who joined from Manchester City in a £45m deal on 4 July, put Arsenal ahead after 15 minutes.
Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka added to the scoresheet before Albert Sambi Lokonga scored in the 90th minute.
Arsenal have now won all three of their matches on their US tour, scoring nine goals.
Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel could not hide his frustration following a lacklustre display from his team.
"I am far from relaxed," Tuchel said.
"We deserved to lose, which is fair enough because we were simply not good enough. We were simply not competitive.
"The worrying part is that the level of commitment physically and mentally for this match was far higher for Arsenal than for us. They played I think what is their strongest line-up and structure that you see now for several weeks. This was the line-up they will try to start for Premier League games.
"It was surely not our strongest line-up. This is a part of an explanation but only a little part and the other part is worrying.
"I cannot guarantee we will be ready in two weeks."
