Match report: Arsenal U-18s 4-3 Brighton

Sam Greenwood scores twice as we advanced into the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup after beating Brighton & Hove Albion in a thrilling match at Meadow Park.

Our first chance of the evening fell to Ryan Alebiosu inside 10 minutes when he collected the ball in the box from a fine Miguel Azeez pass, but fired a tame effort into the arms of Roco Rees.

Our pressure paid off midway through the first half when Alebiosu opened up his body and curled an effort towards goal, Rees then parried his effort into the path of Greenwood, who slammed home.
