Chuba Akpom struck the winner for Arsenal in their victory over the MLS All-Stars today.

Akpom's goal gave Arsenal victory in an entertaining MLS All-Star match.

The showpiece game looked to be heading to penalties after Didier Drogba - so often the scourge of Arsenal in the past - had equalised Joel Campbell's penalty on the stroke of half-time.

But young striker Akpom, who replaced Theo Walcott up front in the second half, turned home from close range to give the Gunners the spoils.

Earlier Campbell scored from the spot after he himself was fouled in the box.

Arsenal's lead lasted until the 45th minute when Drogba netted at the third attempt after his initial strikes were kept out by Petr Cech and debutant Rob Holding.
