U21s report: Arsenal 2-1 Middlesbrough

Related Topics: Middlesbrough FC, Khayon Edwards

Our Under-21s struck late to beat Middlesbrough in the Premier League 2 on a cold Friday night at Meadow Park.

Goals either side of half-time from Khayon Edwards and Michal Rosiak saw us overcome a stubborn Boro side to take all three points.

What Happened

We made the better start to the game and had a chance just seven minutes in when Edwards picked out Charles Sagoe Jr on the edge of the box, but Shea Connor produced a fine save in the Middlesbrough goal.

After plenty of good football from Mehmet Ali's team, we eventually got the breakthrough ten minutes before half-time, when Khayon Edwards set himself up with an excellent touch before firing his effort into the net.
