Arsenal vs Chelsea as it happened: Gunners win penalty shootout after Alexandre Lacazette's late equaliser
Follow all the action from Dublin as Arsenal and Chelsea meet in their final International Champions Cup game
Arsenal and Chelsea meet in their final International Champions Cup game in Dublin as their new managers look to hone their sides ahead of the new season.
Unai Emery's Arsenal beat Paris Saint-Germain 5-1 last week and look to be in good shape as they approach what is a Premier League baptism of fire against Manchester City on 12 August.
Maurizio Sarri's Chelsea face City on Sunday in the Community Shield, so the Italian will be keen to get his side atuned to his style of play as soon as possible.

Arsenal 4-5 Chelsea
Lucas Piazon finds the corner. This might never end. I would like to go home at some point, thrilling as this is.
Arsenal 5-5 Chelsea
Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who presumably spent much of the summer preparing for a penalty shootout with England, mishits one and Cech gets down to parry.
That's the end of that. Chelsea went ahead through Rudiger's header, but Lacazette's late equaliser took the game to penalties and Cech's save from Loftus-Cheek settled the game. Callum Hudson-Odoi was man of the match, for me, an excellent showing. We'll have Luke Brown's report from Dublin very shortly.
