Raphinha restored his side&#8217;s lead after 34 minutes with a deflected free-kick, but Kai Havertz poked home just before the break to ensure it was all square at the break.<\/p>\n<p>The second half saw a host of changes for both sides and another four goals. Belgian Leandro Trossard scored twice, as he looks to get off to a flying start in his first full season at the club, before Ferran Torres and Fabio Vieira exchanged goals late on to leave the score 5-3 in Arsenal&#8217;s favour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/womens-world-cup-best-players-teams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The most exciting players and teams at the 2023 Women&#8217;s World Cup<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/outright-markets\/womens-world-cup-2023-outright-odds\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Who are the favourites?
