U21s report: Everton 1-2 Arsenal

Mehmet Ali’s under-21s made it four games unbeaten with an impressive 2-1 victory away to Everton on Friday night.

Nathan Butler-Oyedeji marked his Premier League 2 return with a first half brace which put us firmly in control at half-time.

Everton got a goal back three minutes into the second half through Aled Thomas and continued to push for an equaliser.

But despite missing the chance to double our lead when Khayon Edwards’ penalty was saved, we held out to take all three points on Merseyside.

What happened

Everton had more of the ball in the first 15 minutes, but our young Gunners were clinical, scoring from the first opportunity of the game.
