Match report: Arsenal U-23s 2-1 Leicester City

Our under-23s signed off 2020 in style with a valuable 2-1 win over Leicester City on Friday night.

Calum Chambers found the back of the net as he continues to build up match fitness, while the in-form Folarin Balogun sealed all three points with his fourth league goal of the season.

Coming into this fixture off the bench of three consecutive victories, we were full of confidence and opened the scoring after just 16 minutes.

Balogun saw his instinctive effort saved, but Chambers was lurking inside the area to fire home the rebound.

Balogun then fizzed the ball just wide of the far post from the edge of the area, before Miguel Azeez’s powerful effort was blocked.
