SUMMARY
Mathieu Debuchy and Stephy Mavididi grabbed a goal each as the under-23s beat north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Friday.
The French defender was playing his first competitive football of the campaign, and crashed home the opener on 65 minutes with a volley at the far post.
Charlie Owens was sent off for the home side before Mavididi struck from the spot late on to seal all three points for Steve Gatting’s men.
SETTING THE SCENE
It was a big match for the Gunners on their return to action, a fortnight after their last match - a 4-0 dismantling of Sunderland at Meadow Park.
