Match report: Arsenal U-23s 0-3 Blackburn
Arsenal U23 By Alex Taylor
WHAT HAPPENED
Our under-23s slipped to a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Blackburn in the Premier League 2 on Friday night.
We made a fast start at Meadow Park and had the best chance of the opening exchanges when Miguel Azeez came close with a well-struck free-kick from 25 yards.
Our 18-year-old midfielder, who made his return from injury against Southampton last week, put in a fine individual performance on a frustrating night for Steve Bould's side.
Despite our positive start, Connor McBride was gifted the chance to open the scoring just before the half-hour mark after being brought down by Ryan Alebiosu inside the box.
