Arsenal 1-1 Chelsea (6-5 pens): 5 Talking Points, International Champions Cup 2018

#3 Sarriball taking effect already

Arsenal v Chelsea - International Champions Cup 2018

Alvaro Morata, in particular, was instrumental to Chelsea's play. Everyone knows that influential deep-lying playmaker Jorginho is key to Sarri's philosophy, but there were plenty of signs on show that it won't all depend on the former Napoli midfielder.

The Spain international regularly dropped deep to collect the ball, allowing the midfielders an extra option to keep hold of possession, and he looked like a real live-wire throughout the contest.

He got involved in the midfield play, with Chelsea regularly engaging in some slick interchanges to bamboozle their Arsenal counterparts before spraying possession out wide or over the top - Sarri is a big fan of getting his players to move the ball swiftly and efficiently, and they did that for much of the opening half with relative ease.

Chelsea fans will expect a lot more from Morata this season, and he will need to be regularly among the goals if the Blues are to get anywhere near Manchester City in the 2018/19 season.

He had chances to rattle the net, too. In the tenth and 34th minutes, he produced a couple of lovely clever turns to produce a shot that had Arsenal fans' hearts in mouths, but neither was lethal enough to beat Cech.

His greatest chance, however, arrived in the 14th minute when his side were awarded a penalty and an opportunity to double their lead, but his finish wasn't up to scratch and Cech got down well to deny him with great reflexes. In many ways, it foreshadowed the fact the Blues would lose the dramatic penalty shootout.
