U21s report: Swansea City 1-4 Arsenal

We got back to winning ways on Saturday afternoon with a comprehensive 4-1 victory over Swansea City in the Premier League Cup.

Mehmet Ali's side weren't at all deterred by the torrential rain they faced in Wales and got off to a fast start through Catalin Cirjan, back in the side after missing the midweek defeat to Stevenage and finding the bottom corner after some neat footwork.

The hosts almost restored parity instantly, but for a crucial intervention from Lino Sousa at the far post to deny them a certain equaliser from close range.

Nathan Butler-Oyedeji continued his impressive scoring streak to double our advantage five minutes before the break and sparked a spell of three goals that ultimately ended the game.
