U-23s: Arsenal 2-2 Swansea City - How it happened

Goals from Folarin Balogun and Nathan Tormey sealed a second-half comeback as we fought back from 2-0 down to draw with Swansea City in the Premier League 2.

The last time we faced the Swans we spent much of the game trying to break through their midfield - and the opening exchanges of this encounter proved to be more of the same.

Ben Sheaf fired well over the bar with an ambitious strike from 25 yards, before Bukayo Saka raced past his marker and dragged a left-footed effort wide of the post.

We looked to be in control as the referee’s half-time whistle edged nearer, but following a large break in play due to an injury to the referee, Swansea struck twice in quick succession.
