U21s report: Leicester City 1-2 Arsenal

Khayon Edwards and Matt Smith fired us to the summit of the Premier League 2 table as we beat Leicester City 2-1 on Monday night.

We came into this one full of confidence following last week's win over Northampton Town in the Papa Johns Trophy and picked up exactly where we left off from that result.

Khayon Edwards, back at this level after gaining valuable experience with the first team in their two previous Europa League squads, bundled the ball home from Nathan Butler-Oyedeji's cross to give us the lead inside 15 minutes.

Butler-Oyedeji almost had a goal of his own minutes later, but sent his strike over the bar from close range after Catalin Cirjan's pinpoint delivery.
