Match report: Arsenal U-23s 3-5 Derby County
WHAT HAPPENED
Folarin Balogun scored a hat-trick but we were beaten 5-3 by Derby County in the Premier League 2 on Friday night.
Kevin Betsy's side could not take full control of the match against a Rams side that started the night bottom of the table.
We were punished for some early confusion at the back after just three minutes, Louie Sibley catching out Ovie Ejeheri with a strike at his near post.
Balogun drew us level six minutes later with a brilliant first-time finish, finding the top corner with a side-footed effort from just inside the box.
