Match report: Arsenal U-23s 2-2 Everton

Despite a dominant performance and two well-worked goals, our under-23s were held to a 2-2 draw by Everton in the Premier League 2 on Monday night.

Rob Holding completed his first 90 minutes since rupturing his ACL in December 2018, while Bukayo Saka and Karl Hein started for the first time in 2019/20.

We made the perfect start when Tyreece John-Jules latched onto a long ball and produced a stunning flicked finish over the onrushing Nico Hansen for his first goal of the season.

However, our lead would last all but two minutes, as Anthony Gordon raced up the other end and fired past Hein into the bottom-left corner.
