U18s report: Arsenal 2-1 Manchester City

We booked our place in the FA Youth Cup final with a thrilling 2-1 extra-time win over Manchester City.

Backed by over 10,000 supporters at Emirates Stadium, our young Gunners made a blistering start after just six minutes through Michal Rosiak’s stunning early free-kick after Laklye Samuel brought down Omari Benjamin who was through one-on-one - Samuel was subsequently sent off for the visitors giving us a man advantage for the majority of the game.

Despite being a man down, City almost levelled when Justin Oboavwoduo ran through on goal but he fired his effort wide while Will Dickson also went close but his strike went off target.
