U21s report: Blackburn Rovers 1-1 Arsenal
Blackburn Rovers U21 WHAT HAPPENED
We earned a hard-fought point in the Premier League 2 with a 1-1 draw against Blackburn Rovers on a windy Saturday afternoon in Leyland.
Charles Sagoe Jr opened the scoring inside 10 minutes, wrong-footing Joe Hilton in the Blackburn goal with a clever finish at the near post after Matt Smith's line-breaking pass.
The hosts responded well to the early setback, Harry Leonard testing Hubert Grazcyk with a header at the back post, before Jared Harlock looked certain to score an equaliser, but for Zach Awe's heroic defensive intervention.
