Arsenal 2-2 Villarreal: How it happened

Related Topics: Arsenal F.C., Villarreal CF

Zech Medley scored the winning penalty in the shootout as our under-23s reached the final of the Premier League International Cup with a dramatic win against Villarreal.

We came into this clash at Emirates Stadium in fine form, having already beaten the likes of last year’s winners, Porto, and Bayern Munich en route to the semi-final.

We made a dream start when Tyreece John-Jules, who has starred during our run to the final four in the FA Youth Cup, gave us the lead inside the first 10 minutes.

It came after a slick passing move that saw Josh Dasilva release Xavier Amaechi and, after his cross was cleared off the line following a scramble, John-Jules pounced on the loose ball and found the top corner.
