U19s report: Arsenal 0-1 Shakhtar Donetsk

We were beaten 1-0 at home to Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Youth League on Tuesday afternoon.

Valentyn Halonskyi gave the visitors an early lead in the 14th minute, and our under-19s were unable to find an equaliser.

WHAT HAPPENED

In the third minute, Ismeal Kabia was played in behind by Josh Nichols and was brought down in the 18-yard box, but no penalty was given.

That move led to a corner, from which Maldini Kacurri headed straight at Rostyslav Bahlai.

Shakhtar then went ahead as a cross from Vladyslav Tyutyunov was flicked into the back of the net by Halonskyi.
