U21s report: Arsenal 4-1 Leicester City

Our young Gunners put on a star-studded performance on Friday night with a dominant 4-1 win over Leicester City.

A hat-trick from Ethan Nwaneri and a goal from James Sweet ensured we kept up our perfect start to the season.

Mehmet Ali’s side, buoyed off a 3-0 win over West Ham in last week’s season opener, started the game brighter. We almost took an early lead when Myles Lewis-Skelly won possession on the edge of the box, but the midfielder was denied by Brad Young in the visitors’ net.

We then went close on several occasions, firstly Ethan Nwaneri placed his effort just wide after neat build-up play between Nathan Butler-Oyedeji and Lewis-Skelly.
