Match report: Boro 1-1 Arsenal U23 (Boro win 4-3)

Our Premier League Cup journey ended at the hands of Middlesbrough as we lost 4-3 in a penalty shoot-out on Wednesday night.

Omari Hutchinson had the game's first big chance, testing Luke Daniels after some intricate link-up play with Marcelo Flores inside the box.

The hosts responded with a big opportunity of their own, James Lea Siliki forcing Arthur Okonkwo into a fingertip save to turn his strike over the bar.

James Olayinka almost gave us the lead on the stroke of half time, his effort blocked on the line, before Hutchinson failed to connect cleanly on the rebound.
