Arsenal Under-21s coach Max Porter shared his pride in his young side after they opened their pre-season campaign with a 2-2 draw against National League outfit Boreham Wood.
Despite conceding inside the first minute, goals from Alex Marciniak and Maalik Hashi turned the game in Arsenal’s favour before the hosts equalised late on.
On the overall performance…
"I'm very, very proud. As everyone saw, we had an extremely young team out there, especially by the end of the game. Matches like these are a real test.
“Boreham Wood had a fantastic season last year after their promotion push, and I thought our lads stood up to the challenge really well.
