Arsenal ran out 2-1 winners at the Toulouse International Ladies Cup thanks to goals from Vivianne Miedema and Danielle van de Donk.
The Gunners fell behind after 22 minutes when Sari van Veenendaal was beaten by Stina Blacksteinius who raced through on goal to slot cooly home.
Arsenal were awarded a penalty less than 10 minutes later but Kim Little failed to convert the spot-kick she had won.
