Arsenal began their pre-season tour of Austria with a comfortable 7-2 victory over SV Neuberg at the Oberwart Stadium.

Thierry Henry netted twice after coming on at half-time against the Austrian Third Division side.

Jure Zilic fired the hosts into an early lead, but Dennis Bergkamp levelled midway through the opening period.

Sylvan Wiltord then put the Gunners in front seconds later to give the Premiership Champions the slenderest of advantages at the break.

Sub Jeremie Aliadiere extended the lead to 3-1 just after the interval, and then proved the cross for Henry to grab number four.

The French international added the fifth and Edu made it six after more great work from youngster Aliadiere, who added number seven late on.
