Match report: Crawley Town 1-2 Arsenal U-21s

We made it two wins from two in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday night as we secured an impressive 2-1 win over Crawley Town.

Jordan McEneff and Miguel Azeez scored their first goals at under-21 level, while Arthur Okonkwo made his return from injury after a year-long spell on the sidelines.

Lining up in a 4-3-1-2 formation, we took control of the midfield early on and soon found ourselves ahead, with Kido Taylor-Hart rounding the keeper and teeing up McEneff for a simple finish.

But the hosts bounced back and after creating a number of promising chances, debutant Max Watters beat his marker for pace before slotting home inside the area.
