Match report: Arsenal U-23s 1-0 Everton
WHAT HAPPENED
Emile Smith Rowe scored the winner as our under-23s secured a 1-0 victory over Everton at Emirates Stadium on Friday afternoon.
Calum Chambers, Sokratis and William Saliba were all named in our starting XI and defended resolutely throughout, helping us to secure back-to-back victories in the Premier League 2 for the first time in 2020/21.
Full of confidence from our 6-0 win over Blackburn Rovers last week, we started strongly and opened the scoring after just nine minutes.
Matt Macey played an incisive pass into our midfield and kickstarted a counter-attack, before Smith Rowe applied the finishing touch to Ben Cottrell’s through ball.
