Match report: Derby County 2-3 Arsenal U-23s

Our under-23s secured a vital Premier League 2 victory on Tuesday night as they ran out 3-2 winners against Derby County.

Miguel Azeez and Joel Lopez both started just two days on from being named in our first-team matchday squad against Sheffield United, while 17-year-old Zane Monlouis stepped in at right back.

Heading into this fixture off the back of victories against Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, Derby started the game full of confidence and after a lengthy spell of possession, deservedly opened the scoring through Cameron Cresswell.

Joel Lopez committed a clumsy foul inside the penalty area and Cresswell duly converted from 12 yards.
