Arsenal romped to a comfortable seven-nil victory in the opening game of this year's Asia Tour.
Theo Walcott got the gunners underway in the first half, slotting home with composure from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's pull back. Kieran Gibbs then spurned a golden opportunity to double the Gunners' lead scuffing his shot into the side netting when he really should have scored.
Ignasi Miquel then almost let Boaz Solossa in for the home side, but the Indonesian captain struck tamely into Fabianski's arms.
Despite dominating possession and the having many more chances, Arsenal could only take a 1-0 lead into the break, but everything changed after half-time.
Chuba Akpom bagged Arsenal's second of the night on 54 minutes, deftly finishing a move he started, turning home Serge Gnabry's low cross.
Five minutes after his second half introduction, Olivier Giroud turned home fellow substitute Bacary Sagna's cross, netting his second minutes later, with an excellent turn in the box.
Four-nil Arsenal, but the Gunners were not finished there. Podolski hammered the ball home for number five just a few minutes later, after some good link up play with Tomas Rosicky. A minute after that, Kris Olsson poked home Rosicky's delicious deep cross.
Thomas Eisfeld then got Arsenal's seventh, slamming home left footed.
A good evening's work for the Gunners, who will now embark on the next leg of their tour, when they will be playing the Vietnam national team on Wednesday.

That was a good performance by arsenal fc. This is a really nice show, but don't think these team can win anything in the england and europe. We need signing that will give us quality and consistency.
