IT'S ALL OVER IN KUALA LUMPUR: A good workout for the Arsenal with Ramsey, Walcott, Vela and Rosicky on target. Look out for highlights and post-match reaction later on Arsenal Player
Full Time FULL-TIME: MALAYSIA XI 0-4 ARSENAL
90
ANOTHER CHANCE... but Vela's cut-back evades the onrushing Nasri and Malaysia can clear the ball.
90
GOAL! - Tomas Rosicky 0 : 4 ROSICKY ADDS A FOURTH! Arshavin does brilliantly on the left to beat his man and get to the byline. He lifts a cross into the six-yard box and Rosicky climbs to head the ball home
89
SHAMSHUDIN HAS A GO: He's a long way out but the space opens up in front of him... and that's a woeful shot, it flies well over
88
CHANCE FOR A FOURTH: Van Persie picks out Vela and he beats the keeper and backheels to Nasri. The Frenchman was on his heels though and the danger passes
86
VAN PERSIE TRIES TO FIND VELA: The Dutchman holds the ball up and almost threads a pass through to his fellow striker. It's cut out though
84
SAGNA IS PENALISED: The full back gets forward and is one-on-one but play is stopped for a foul. Bac has his head in his hands, he's not happy with that decision

Stewart Robson says:
That's the areas that Sagna likes to get into. He times his runs brilliantly and has got great energy. I saw him play for France against England at Wembley and he was absolutely outstanding
83
GOOD COVER FROM DJOUROU: The back four pushes up too far and the ball in behind almost sets up a chance. Djourou drops in to clear the danger
82
VELA GOES DOWN THE RIGHT: He's shifted position since Van Persie came on but Carlos is still very much involved. He looks tired though
81
VAN PERSIE GOES THROUGH... but the ball runs away from him and the keeper gets there first. Good run from the Dutchman
79
CHANCE FOR ROSICKY! Van Persie gets to the byline and crosses deep for Vela. He touches it back to Rosicky but he gets under his first-time effort

@NathJRH on Twitter says:
Nasri is running things
77
FREE-KICK TO MALAYSIA: Yahaya steps up... and fires it well over the bar. Poor effort - the home fans would love to see a consolation
74
Substitution MALAYSIA SUB: Govandar for Rahim
73
FORMATION: Interesting to see that Wenger has persisted with a 4-3-3. Some wondered whether he might mix it up a bit. Maybe he will during pre-season
72
YAHAYA COMES FORWARD: Good run but Frimpong gets back well to stop him.
70
SO MANY SUBSTITUTIONS: That's no surprise in a game like this but it does upset the rhythm of the match
69
VELA MUST SCORE! The keeper is stranded and Vela goes round him, past a defender and delays his shot... and it's blocked! Should have been 4-0 to Arsenal
68
Substitution MALAYSIA SUB: Suppiah for Subramaniam
66
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Nasri for Ramsey
Top Comments:
Stewart Robson says:
I think Samir Nasri's best position is just behind the striker and that is where he is playing tonight. He is trying to make things happen
66
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Arshavin for Miyaichi
66
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Sagna for Jenkinson
66
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Van Persie for Denilson
65
RAMSEY A CLASS ACT: The Wales midfielder has been very assured, one of three Arsenal players to stay on at half-time. A goal, an assist, some fine passing - good to see him back at his best
Top Comments:
Stewart Robson says:
It's difficult to play consistently when you come back from injury. That was the case last season but against Manchester United he had a very good game and hopefully he is back to full fitness now.
63
Substitution MALAYSIA SUB: Saad for Talaha
62
TRAORE GETS IN HIS CROSS: But the keeper reads it well and Vela can't get on the end of it
61
Substitution MALAYSIA SUB: Remeli for Jasuli
59
Substitution MALAYSIA SUB: Muslin for Putra
58
GOAL! - Carlos Vela 0 : 3 VELA MAKES IT THREE! Lovely finish from the Mexican. He bursts into the box and chips Nourdin brilliantly, reminiscent of his Carling Cup glory moments
Top Comments:
@Tamilsha on Twitter says:
Lovely little touch from Vela, it would be great to see him reach the potential he has shown at times
57
PATIENT BUILD-UP... and then Rosicky has another try but that is blocked. Wenger gets a touch as the ball runs out of play and is cheered to the rafters
55
ROSICKY TRIES HIS LUCK: He finds space in between the lines and has a go from 25 yards. Nourdin saves well
Top Comments:
Stewart Robson says:
Arsenal are dominating the game at the moment but it's at a gentle pace. The first half was played at a higher tempo.
53
RAHIM TAKES THE FREE-KICK: But he curls it into the wall. Wasted
Top Comments:
Stewart Robson says:
It will be interesting to see, if Gervinho does come to Arsenal, where Robin van Persie will play. It could be that Gervinho plays up front with Van Persie behind.
52
FREE-KICK TO MALAYSIA: Mannone is penalised for time-wasting and concedes the free-kick. Bit harsh considering it's a friendly...
51
RAMSEY SHOOTS JUST OVER: Wonderful move from Arsenal. Vela's vision sets up Ramsey but he can't get over the ball and fires over the bar
48
VELA INTO THE BOX: But he's just beaten to that by the Malaysia keeper
47
DENILSON CAUGHT IN POSSESSION: Bit sloppy that, Denilson dropped deep but was challenged and the hosts have a corner
Kick Off WE'RE BACK UNDERWAY: Lots of changes on both sides as you'd expect from a pre-season friendly
45
Substitution MALAYSIA SUB: Fahmie for Nourdin
45
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Traore on for Gibbs
45
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Rosicky on for Walcott
45
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Vela on for Chamakh
45
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Frimpong on for Song
Top Comments:
Tim Peters says:
It's great to see Emmanuel Frimpong back. He was predicted to play some part for Arsenal last season before picking up his injury.
45
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Denilson on for Wilshere
45
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Squillaci on for Vermaelen
45
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Djourou on for Koscielny
45
Substitution ARSENAL SUB: Mannone on for Szczesny
45
PLAYER.ARSENAL.COM: Go there for our live show with Dan Roebuck and Nigel Winterburn in the studio and Tim Peters and Stewart Robson in the commentary box. You can catch the first-half highlights right now and the whole second half in ten minutes or so
45
ARSENAL IN CONTROL: Ramsey's early penalty and Walcott's delicate lob gives them a half-time lead in KL.
Half Time HALF-TIME: MALAYSIA XI 0-2 ARSENAL
45
STEPOVERS FROM MIYAICHI: Good skill and a decent end product too as Ryo beats his man and curls in a teasing cross
44
WHOOPS! Walcott mis-controls a simple pass out on the touchline. Best to get them out of the way in pre-season eh?
43
A DECENT WORK-OUT SO FAR: Arsenal haven't looked that solid at the back but they've been sprightly going forward. The pitch is cutting up though - no injuries please
Top Comments:
Stewart Robson says:
It's been a very comfortable first half for Arsenal.
42
Substitution SUB: Ahmad replaces the injured Zafuan
39
WALCOTT WITH THE CROSS... and Chamakh can't quite reach it. Good ball from Theo
38
JENKINSON SHOOTS WIDE: Miyaichi got past his man again and cut the ball back to Chamakh. He worked it to the right and the full back screwed his effort wide
37
GOAL! - Theo Walcott 0 : 2 WALCOTT SCORES FOR ARSENAL! Wonderful pass from Ramsey and Walcott lifts it over the keeper and into the net
Top Comments:
Tim Peters says:
A moment of real class from Aaron Ramsey and a finish that can only give Theo Walcott confidence. Two moments of real quality and a beautiful goal from Arsenal.
36
BACK TO THE ACTION: There's a really good atmosphere in the stadium and Arsenal are not having it all their own way.
35
VIDEO STREAM: Go to player.arsenal.com for our live video stream of the game if you're not watching it already
32
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS: Apologies to everyone who has been struggling to watch our live video stream. We've been working hard to resolve these problems and hopefully you can watch it now
30
CORNER TO ARSENAL: In comes the cross and Vermaelen gets his head on it... but it's off target
27
MORE DANGER FOR ARSENAL: A long ball over the top causes more problems and it needs a decent challenge from Koscielny to keep Malaysia out
25
WELL DONE JENKINSON: Saarani has been Malaysia's most dangerous player and he gets away from the new signing but Carl does well to get back and challenge. Good defending and good pace too.
24
SZCZESNY ALMOST CAUGHT OUT: A diagonal ball into the box drifts towards goal and Wojciech just gets back to tip it over. The corner comes to nothing.
22
CHAMAKH GIVES IT AWAY: Sloppy play from the Moroccan striker. He gets it back on the counter-attack and tries to slide in Walcott but the ball runs away from the England man.
20
UP GOES VERMAELEN: He's won pretty much everything in the air so far. But then the captain is penalised for a foul.
17
MIYAICHI ON THE LEFT: Another tricky run stopped by a solid challenge
Top Comments:
Nigel Winterburn says:
Miyaichi is playing on the left-hand side and it looks like he has got lots of ability on the ball. But we will have to see more of him to see whether he is ready for the first team
16
SOLID FROM JENKINSON: He marshals his man out of play deep in Arsenal territory.
14
HOME SIDE GROWING IN CONFIDENCE: It's no longer one-way traffic in KL. But Arsenal are still dangerous with Walcott looking to get in behind his full back
12
FREE-KICK TO MALAYSIA: It's taken short and Zafuan tries his luck… but that is nowhere near troubling Szczesny
11
LOVELY BALL FROM VERMAELEN: He picks out Miyaichi on the left. The Japanese youngster is getting lots of the ball in the early stages
10
POSSESSION STATS: Arsenal on 67 per cent so far, that sums up their dominance.
9
MIYAICHI ON THE MOVE: Ryo goes down the left but tries one trick too many and loses possession.
7
WALCOTT GOES CLOSE: Theo loops in a shot from a narrow angle but it's deflected wide. Arsenal completely in control at the moment
5
GOAL! - Aaron Ramsey 0 : 1 RAMSEY SCORES FROM THE SPOT! Aaron takes responsibility from 12 yards and slams it low past the Malaysia keeper.
4
PENALTY TO ARSENAL! The tourists are seeing lots of the ball and Wilshere surges into the box before being brought down by Zafuan.
2
EARLY TOUCHES FOR NEW BOYS: Miyaichi and Jenkinson get solid early touches and Walcott goes on a run but he runs into trouble
Kick Off ARSENAL GET US UNDERWAY: Ramsey and Chamakh kick off in front of a very boisterous crowd in Kuala Lumpur
The teams are out on the pitch and, after some brief introductions with a dignitary, the players have shaken hands and are just about ready for the off.
Arsenal will be wearing their brand-new blue kit in Kuala Lumpur. The Malaysia XI will be in yellow and black.
The rest of the squad will compete for leg-room on a crowded substitutes bench. Expect plenty of changes from half-time onwards.
Hmmm, interesting. Ryo Miyaichi and Carl Jenkinson both get the nod for the first pre-season friendly. The Japanese youngster will most probably start on the left with Walcott on the right and Chamakh through the middle. Jenkinson gets a chance to impress at right back
ARSENAL TEAM: Szczesny, Gibbs, Jenkinson, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Wilshere, Song, Ramsey, Miyaichi, Walcott, Chamakh

Stewart Robson says:
The first 15 minutes were really good from Arsenal but, as the game has worn on, there have been a few worrying moments. The second half has been very easy for Arsenal. Malaysia haven't pressed the ball so Arsenal have been able to dictate play.
