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

By Aidan Small at London Colney

WHAT HAPPENED

A stunning Eddie Nketiah display helped us beat Chelsea and climb to second place in the Premier League 2.

It was Chelsea who scored first through Kyle Scott, who received the ball on the edge of the box and rifled his effort past Dejan Iliev.

But before Chelsea could gain control of the game, a thumping close-range strike from Nketiah drew us level. That was the 18-year-old’s 10th league goal this season.

We continued to apply pressure and gained our reward through Tyreece John-Jules, who found the bottom corner with an instinctive flicked effort.
