The penalties at the end were a weird one huh?

I wonder if it was an agreement between the teams to have them so they could practice taking penalties after 90 minutes of action.

I think it was said that Arteta wanted pens so that we could get experience taking them in front of a crowd.

Yeah that makes sense, especially with the community shield coming up.

My son went to a tournament a few weeks ago and played a few friendlies. They won the first one 7-0 and then went to pens for practice. It really just is a replication of taking them in front of people.
