Arsenal beat Chelsea in a penalty shootout in the International Champions Cup on Wednesday in Dublin.
Rudiger scored an early winner on 5 minutes but Morata could have doubled the lead had he not missed from the penalty spot 10 mins later.
The North London based outfit bagged a last-gasp equalizer when Lacazette equalised in the fifth minute of added time.
Mesut Ozil started his second game in a row for the Gunners but he lost the captains armband to Petr Cech who got the nod in goal.
Ozil scored the opening goal in the 5-1 victory over PSG.
The playmaker of Turkish origin did not score or provide an assist against the Blues but check out his pass in the build-up to the equaliser.

The 29-year-old was one of six Arsenal players that converted his penalty in the shootout.
We took a look at how Arsenal fans reacted to Ozil’s display on social media.
In general most Arsenal fans appeared pretty impressed with Ozil’s performance.
That reverse pass by Ozil to Nelson in the build-up to Lacazette’s goal was worth the entrance fee alone. Superb.

That reverse ball from Ozil ?
Spun everyone, even Nelson wasn't sure how he suddenly had so much space infront of him with the ball at his feet.
He was stunned there for a split second.@MesutOzil1088 ?

Mesut Ozil been magnificent today. Our best player after Cech.

How do you compare Ozil with anyone, for real?

I’ve never seen a player flick balls so gorgeously as I have Ozil ?
— Joshua Edwards (@josh_edwards33) August 1, 2018
Oh my word Ozil what a flick that is actually unreal no way a human being can do that

Ozil deserves an assist at least.

A few half-time thoughts.
POSITIVES:
– Ozil looks sharp
– Cech saved a penalty
– Guendouzi can really passNEGATIVES:
– Oh man the defending
– The ESPN2 commentators are driving me insane— gunnerblog (@gunnerblog) August 1, 2018
Very happy seeing Auba start up front today. The front of Mkhi-Auba-Ozil is exactly what I wanted. Seems like Ramsey has a free role in the middle as well which is fantastic. Excited for this game. Lets go!
— LTArsenal™ (@ltarsenal) August 1, 2018
Ozil, cech and Matteo been are best players today

This is the most involved I’ve seen Ozil in a pretty long time
