U21s report: Arsenal 4-2 Manchester United

Mehmet Ali’s young Gunners launched their 2024/25 league campaign in style with a commanding 4-1 victory over Manchester United at Meadow Park on Friday night.

A brace from Khayon Edwards, along with goals from Michal Rosiak and Nathan Butler-Oyedeji, paved the way for a decisive three points.

From the outset, our side showed intent, taking the lead just 12 minutes in. Ismeal Kabia's relentless effort down the right flank paid off as he delivered a precise cross to Khayon Edwards, who was perfectly positioned to tap in our first goal of the season.

We nearly doubled our advantage when a mistake by United’s goalkeeper gifted Jimi Gower a chance.
