U21s report: Manchester City 6-0 Arsenal

We suffered our first Premier League 2 defeat of the season on Saturday afternoon as we were beaten 6-0 by Manchester City away from home.

The hosts took the lead after just eight minutes, Alex Robertson rounding Hubert Graczyk to slot home into the empty net, before doubling their advantage moments later through Carlos Borges' close-range strike.

It was three midway through the half, Robertson completing his brace after knocking the ball past Taylor Foran and dispatching one-on-one against Graczyk.

Mehmet Ali's side registered their first meaningful chance of the half through Amario Cozier-Duberry, our winger forcing Mikki Van Sas into a good stop from close range, before the rebound was sent over the bar from Mauro Bandeira.
