U-23s: Arsenal 2-1 Tottenham - Report

Freddie Ljungberg's under-23 side registered a second win in a week as they build momentum at the start of the new Premier League 2 season.

HOW IT HAPPENED

Freddie Ljungberg’s under-23s recorded back-to-back wins for the first time this season, as they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at Emirates Stadium

We wasted no time in stamping our authority on the game when Joe Willock pounced on a drilled cross inside the box and fired the ball into the top right corner.

Soon after, Emile Smith Rowe’s curling goal-bound effort was blocked, before Xavier Amaechi’s low strike was pushed to safety by Brandon Austin

Willock then came close to his - and our - second second of the night when he raced through on goal following a perfectly-weighted pass from Tyreece John-Jules, but he was denied by a brilliant diving save.
