U-23s: Arsenal 5-1 Man City: How it happened

We returned to winning ways in the Premier League 2 on Monday night with a dominant 5-1 win over Manchester City.

Bukayo Saka, Eddie Nketiah and Xavier Amaechi formed a thrilling attack, while Dinos Mavropanos made his return from injury.

For the first time since November, Freddie Ljungberg had a full strength frontline to choose from - and it certainly showed on the night.

After receiving the ball on the left wing early on, Saka beat his marker and fired into the far corner for his sixth goal in all competitions this season.

City’s defence were struggling to handle our runs in behind, and shortly after we doubled our advantage.
