New Arsenal summer signing, Kai Havertz, has opened his goal account for the Gunners.
The German star recently sealed a sensational move to the Emirates Stadium after he swapped Chelsea for their north London rivals.
According to Sky Sports, the Premier League runners-up from last season forked out an eyewatering £65 million to land Havertz, who had spent three years at Stamford Bridge.
The move saw the 24-year-old become Arsenal's first signing of the summer as Mikel Arteta embarked on an ambitious recruitment to strengthen his squad.
Havertz scores first Arsenal goal
The former Bayer Leverkusen star gave his new club a glimpse of what they should expect after he opened his goal account with them on Thursday morning, July 20.
Havertz was part of the Arsenal squad that played an MLS All-Stars team coached by Wayne Rooney.
Arteta's charges needed just a minute into the kick-off to open the scoring, with Gabriel Jesus at the centre of things with a curling volley.
The Premier League giants doubled their advantage through Leandro Trossard before Jorginho made it 3-0 from the penalty spot in the second half.
A video shared by ESPN showed Havertz joining the goal-fest moments before stoppage time, finding the back of the net with a stunning finish to make it 4-0.
