Match report: U23s suffer Arsenal defeat
Two goals in each half was enough for Freddie Ljungberg's team to take the three points, but the young Reds certainly created their fair share of good opportunities.
Neil Critchley's side started brightly. On 10 minutes Bobby Adekanye found himself with a clear run on goal before he was brought down just outside the box.
Adam Lewis stepped up to take the free-kick and was unfortunate to see his effort drift just wide.
A superb pass from Matty Virtue then released Rafael Camacho in space down the right, and after the 18-year-old cut inside his marker his curled attempt was saved by Deyan Iliev.
Two goals in the space of three first half minutes swung the game in Arsenal's favour.
