U21s report: Arsenal 2-3 Fulham

Our under-21s began their new Premier League 2 campaign with a narrow 3-2 defeat to Fulham at the Mangata Pay UK Stadium.

What happened

Ismeal Kabia was unlucky not to have earned his side an early penalty inside ten minutes. He looked to have been tripped inside the Fulham box after finding space, but the referee instead pointed towards the corner flag. Agustien's inswinging set-piece looped too high for Maldini Kacurri to place, who could only head high over Alex Borto's bar.

We were behind after 14 minutes when Aaron Loupalo-Bi tricked his way into Tommy Setford's area, before providing a well-timed cut back to Tom Olyott to slot home the opener.
