Our under-21s continued their pre-season with a 2-0 defeat against National League South side Chelmsford City at the Melbourne Stadium.
What happened
The home side did not waste time to grasp a foothold in the game. Three minutes into the opening exchanges, Kai Corbett worked well down the left side to link up with Harry Barbrook arriving on the overlap, with the full-back taking no time to pick out a well-timed cross into Taylor Clark. The striker found space in a crowded Arsenal box to fire a first-time effort into the feet of goalkeeper Jack Porter, who was unable to react quickly enough to stop the ball from ricocheting off his boot into his bottom right-hand corner.
