U21s report: Arsenal 2-5 Tottenham Hotspur

Our under-21s fell to their second consecutive defeat, losing 4-2 to Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby on Saturday afternoon.

Despite racing to a two-goal lead through Romari Forde and Michal Rosiak, Spurs mounted a remarkable second-half comeback to claim the victory.

What happened

We started brightly, nearly taking the lead early when Maldini Kacurri's header from a corner was cleared off the line. The pressure soon paid off, as Forde headed in at the back post after Zane Monlouis kept the ball alive in the box.

Ismail Oulad M’Hand and Ayden Heaven combined well on the left flank, with Heaven firing into the side netting shortly after.
