Match report: Arsenal 2-2 Blackburn Rovers

We surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Blackburn Rovers on Monday night at Meadow Park.

Kevin Betsy handed a start to George Lewis in attack, while Joel Ideho was also given the nod after impressing off the bench against Middlesbrough.

We had the game's first real chance, Miguel Azeez forcing Antonis Stergiakis into a good save with a free-kick from the edge of the area.

Our midfielder broke the deadlock minutes later, latching onto a brilliant through ball from Nathan Butler-Oyedeji and making no mistake with his finish inside the box.

We doubled our advantage through Lino Sousa, our defender scoring his first goal for us after reacting quickest in the box to the rebound from George Lewis' strike.
