Report: Cambridge Utd 1-1 Arsenal U-21s (3-4 pens)

Our final match in this season’s Leasing.com Trophy ended in a penalty shootout victory after we came from behind to draw at Abbey Stadium in regular time.

We went into the game knowing that we could not reach the knockout stages regardless of the result after a draw (and penalty shootout defeat) to Northampton Town and a narrow loss to Peterborough United.

We started strongly and could have been ahead twice in a matter of minutes when James Olayinka saw his fine effort saved before Dinos Mavropanos rose highest at a corner, but could only direct his header wide.
