Under-18s: Arsenal 4-2 Aston Villa - Report

Our under-18s kicked off their 2018/19 season with a 4-2 win over Aston Villa at London Colney on Saturday.

WHAT HAPPENED

Kwame Ampadu’s side displayed their attacking intent right from the off, and in the 10th minute they grabbed their reward through Flo Balogun, who raced in on goal and found the bottom right corner with a smart left-footed finish.

The early pressure continued and following some intricate link-up play on the edge of Villa’s box, Yunus Musah doubled our lead with a driven strike past Filip Marshall.

We dominated possession throughout the remainder of the first half and the opening stages of the second, but following a 10 minutes spell of complacency, Villa managed to get themselves back into the game.
