Under-23s: United v Arsenal
Manchester United's second-half dominance wasn't quite enough to secure a Premier League 2 point at Carrington, as Arsenal weathered the storm to eventually see out their 4-2 victory.
The visitors took a comfortable advantage into the break at Carrington. Arsenal's 13th-minute opener was unlucky for United goalkeeper Elyh Harrison as Lino Sousa wrong-footed him with a strike on the counter-attack. The Reds were also unfortunate not to grab an equaliser almost immemdiately when Omari Forson's attempt hit the post.
Jack Henry-Francis doubled the Gunners' lead in the 28th minute with a wickedly deflected effort, shortly before Sousa grabbed his second goal to make it 3-0.
