Match report: Arsenal U-23s 1-0 Southampton

We kept our first clean sheet of the season as Tyreece John-Jules’ strike gave us a narrow victory against Southampton

Chances were few and far between during the opening exchanges as we tried to break down a stubborn Saints defence.

John-Jules came close with a header inside 10 minutes, before Trae Coyle stung the palms of Tommy Scott with a fierce effort from the edge of the box.

The visitors should have been ahead, arguably against the run of play, when Kazeem Olaigbe whipped an inviting ball towards Harlem Hale, but the winger directed his effort wide.
