U-23s: Brighton 2-2 Arsenal - How it happened

Xavier Amaechi scored on his return from injury as we were held to a 2-2 draw by Brighton & Hove Albion in the Premier League 2 on Monday night.

Robbie Burton also made his first start since returning from injury, while Bukayo Saka delivered yet another thrilling performance.

After finishing 2018 struggling for form, Freddie Ljungberg would have been keen for a fast start from his youngsters - and that’s exactly what he received.

Former Gunner Hugo Keto made a fine save early on to deny Saka from the edge of the area, before tipping Tyreece John-Jules’ header behind for a corner.
