Match report: Leicester City 1-1 Arsenal U-23s

Our under-23s moved five points clear of the Premier League 2 relegation zone on Monday night as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Leicester City.

Daniel Oyegoke returned from injury and started at right back, while Omari Hutchinson came off the bench to make his debut. Marcelo Flores also received his first call-up at this level.

The Foxes started strongly and with less than 15 minutes on the clock they were gifted a golden opportunity to open the scoring. Thanawat Suengchitthawon picked up an underhit backpass to race through on goal and round the keeper, but our defenders tracked his run and managed to make a vital block to put it behind for a corner.
