Our under-21s wrapped up pre-season in style with a confident 3-1 victory over Monaco on Saturday afternoon.
The game began at a slow tempo, but just before half-time, Tommy Setford was called into action with a superb point-blank save, diving low to his right to deny Monaco. Josh Nichols was quick to react, heading the danger clear.
We took the lead right on the stroke of half-time when Ismael Kabia unleashed a thunderous 25-yard strike into the top corner — a moment of pure quality to send us into the break ahead.
After the restart, we started the second half brightly and came close to doubling our lead.
