Match report: Blackburn Rovers 2-3 Arsenal

We were involved in yet another thriller as we beat Blackburn Rovers 3-2 with 10 men on Monday night.

Kevin Betsy's side went into the break two goals to the good, but the game changed early in the second half after Brooke Norton-Cuffy was shown a straight red card.

Blackburn pulled two goals back against our 10 men, before Folarin Balogun popped up with a dramatic late winner to earn us all three points.

We had the game's first real chance when Balogun tested Aynsley Pears with a fierce shot after some excellent work from Mika Biereth to set up his strike partner.
