That's it from New York. A good workout for the players and they give a big thank you to all the fans for all their support. We'll see you next week back at Emirates Stadium for the Emirates Cup.

FULL TIME: The Red Bulls take their time and as soon as Kimura makes a throw, the refree blows the final whistle

TOO HIGH: Olsson gets a nice curl on the ball, but it soars well over the cross bar

FREE KICK: Akpom looks to be through on goal but us triode from behind by Bustamante who earns a yellow. Free kick to Arsenal

EXTRA TIME: Two minutes left for Arsenal to find an equalizer

NICE MOVEMENT: Gibbs, Diaby and Akpom are all involved in the play, but the Red Bulls defense is able to collapse on the ball to end the threat

ANOTHER NEW YORK CHANCE: Luyindula lofts the ball toward goal, and Akpan nearly gets on the end of it but Martinez makes the save

HECTOR'S TURN: Bellerin tries a cross toward a rushing Akpom, but Robles sees it the whole way

UNLUCKY GIBBS: Kieran with a good touch, brings down the diagonal pass but can't get the shot off

WHOLESALE CHANGES: As expected, the team will be very different in the second half. They only players staying on for Arsenal for now are Rosicky, Cazorla, Monreal and Gibbs

THAT'S THE HALF: Wright-Phillips made the difference as the Red Bulls go into the break clinging to their one goal lead

BOOKING: Cahill sweeps the leg and Jack Wilshere hits the deck. The former Everton man earned his yellow for that one

EXTRA TIME: One minute goes up on the board

WHAT A MOVE! Aaron Ramsey looks for Wilshere with an incredible flick, but it gets just past the England international

GREAT OPPORTUNITY: Arsenal get a free kick from about 22 yards out. Ramsey and Cazorla stand over the ball, but the Spaniard kick goes into the New York wall

SO CLOSE: Arsenal earn the free kick after a Red Bulls defender tries to climb on Ramsey's back. Cahill heads down Santi's free kick directly into WIlshere's path - Cahill heads it wide

BIG CHANCE: Wilshere bursts into the box and manages a left-footed effort that is on target, but Robles is there to bat it away

BETTER: Jenkinson finds Gibbs who tries to pick out Aaron Ramsey but a Red Bulls defender is there to block the cross

RED BULLS CORNER: Henry steps to the flag abs us greeted by cheers from the Arsenal fans

ARSENAL BREAK: Ramsey intercepts the ball near the centre line and pushes forward. He leaves it off for Cazorla who can't quite find Rosicky in the box

FREE KICK: Wilshere gets on the receiving end of a tackle by Thierry who is not pleased by the ref's whistle

NICE PLAY CARL: Wright-Phillips twists and turns toward goal, but Jenkinson is there to clear the ball out for a Red Bulls throw

SO CLOSE FOR NEW YORK: Oyongo looks for Cahill but Gibbs is there to deny the Australian

NEARLY A CHANCE: Cazorla looks to tee up a shot from the edge of the area, but changes his mind and the flag goes up on Ramsey

LOOKING FOR GIBBS: Ramsey tries threading a pass through the Red Bulls defence, but the home side makes the block

OFFSIDES: Oyongo breaks down the left flank, but the flag goes up

TOO EASY: Sam tries an effort from close range, but kicks it straight into Szczesny's waiting hands

RAMSEY WIDE: Rosicky finds Ramsey who makes a nice turn , but hi effort rolls wide of the mark

DREAM BLOCK: Hayden reaches the ball at the last second as Henry is about to pounce, denying him a shot on goal

RED BULLS PROBING: Henry keeps looking to create something deep in the Arsenal end, but the Red Bulls end product isn't there

MORE THIERRY: The Arsenal legend is in the thick of the attack sending the ball through, but Oyongo's touch fails him

UP THE LEFT: Henry find Roy Miller, but Jenkinson is there to clear and sends it across the halfway line

GREAT TACKLE: The Red Bulls look to break but Jack slides in to end the threat

ARTETA TAKES A HIT: Mikel needs a bit of treatment after a hit to the face. He's back in though

ROBLES RUSHES OUT: The Red Bulls keeper sprints out to the edge of the area and covers just before Wilshere can pounce on the ball

JUST WIDE: Wright Phillips looks for the far corner, but it rolls just wide for a goal kick

CLOSE FOR CAZORLA! Santi tees up a shot but it sails wide of the mark

CAHILL FOUL: The former Everton man takes down Wilshere - free kick Arsenal

RED BULLS CORNER: Sam looks for McCarty, but he can only knock it out for an Arsenal goal kick

SO CLOSE! Wright-Phillips finds Thierry - he bursts forward and tries a right-footed effort, but a diving Szczesny tips it wide for a corner

ARSENAL CORNER: Santi send in the out swinger - the Red Bulls eventually recover the ball and push forward

GIBBS CROSS: Kieran send in a cross, but it's punched away by Robles

SZCZESNY CLAIMS: Arsenal begin to press forward

FREE KICK: Thierry Henry to take from the left side just outside the area....

EARLY PRESSURE: The Red Bulls start the game by running straight at the Arsenal defence - but it's quickly cleared

WE ARE UNDERWAY! Arsenal kick things off at Red Bull Arena. Come on you Gunners!
