Match report: Chelsea U-23s 1-6 Arsenal

We claimed our third win on the bounce in the Premier League 2 with a stunning 6-1 victory against Chelsea on Sunday.

We claimed an early lead at Kingsmeadow when Folarin Balogun was bundled over in the box, and while his penalty was saved, he was on hand to covert the rebound.

Balogun was at the centre of things again when, in the 21st minute, he played a delightful ball over the top of the Chelsea defence. There was still plenty to do for Mika Biereth, but the striker's brilliant acrobatic finish doubled our advantage.

Straight from kick off we extended our advantage as our high press caused the Blues all sorts of problems, and Balogun finished cooly inside the area.
