U21s report: Arsenal 6-2 Manchester United

Our under-21s advanced to the quarter-finals of the Premier League 2 Division One play-offs with a 6-2 win at home to Manchester United on Friday night.

A flurry of first-half goals from Nathan Butler-Oyedeji (twice), Jack Henry-Francis and Amario Cozier-Duberry saw us lead by four at the break, and a second-half Ethan Nwaneri penalty made sure of the win, Sam Mather grabbing a consolation goal for United. Cozier-Duberry added his second in stoppage time and Gabrielle Biancheri pulled another back for the visitors.

It was the visitors who began the game looking more likely to find the breakthrough as Ovie Ejeheri got down to catch a long-range effort from Ethan Williams, before our goalkeeper then punched away a dangerous free-kick.
