Match report: Arsenal U-23s 1-4 Liverpool

We suffered a disappointing 4-1 defeat against Liverpool on Friday night at Meadow Park.

We had the game's first real chance, Joel Lopez hitting the bar from 20 yards out after Miguel Azeez's initial effort was saved by Marcelo Pitaluga.

Our period of dominance continued as Marcelo Flores fired just wide after some good link-up with Omari Hutchinson.

Arthur Okonkwo was called into action to deny the visitors from taking the lead, getting down low to turn a header past the post after a dangerous in-swinging corner.

Liverpool found themselves in front shortly before the break, Jack Bearne working his way into the box before his wayward strike deflected favourably off Azeez and beyond Okonkwo.
