U-23s: Arsenal 1-3 Tottenham - How it happened

Related Topics: Tottenham, Arsenal F.C.

Daniel Ballard’s opener ultimately counted for nothing as Tottenham came from behind to beat us 3-1 at Meadow Park on Saturday.

The centre back headed us in front from a free-kick after just 18 minutes, but our lead was cancelled out before the interval.

Tottenham right-back Timothy Eyoma nodded in the equaliser for the visitors, as they capitalised on a set-piece of their own.

By the 36th minute, Tottenham had taken the lead. Oliver Skipp gave the visitors the advantage in impressive fashion, with a cool side-footed volley into the top corner.

We looked to battle back, but were stung soon after half-time when Keanan Bennetts scored from a free-kick, as our afternoon ended in defeat.
