Report: Arsenal U21 1-1 Crystal Palace

Monday night saw our under-21s grind out a draw against Crystal Palace in an evenly-matched and gripping Premier League 2 fixture at Meadow Park.

An ice-cold finish from Mauro Bandeira in the first half was enough to secure a well-earned point in the clash, as we remain undefeated in the league after 10 games.

What happened

It was a cagey start to the game as the rain pounded down at Meadow Park, with several early, crunching tackles setting the tone for the rest of the affair.

From the outset, Amario Cozier-Duberry caused the Crystal Palace defence significant problems down the left wing with his pace and skill, putting the ball in the side-netting several times in the first half.
