MUFC U21s 2-2 Arsenal U21s: FT
posted on 11/2/13
Januzaj has a shot which is deflected out for a corner.
His corner however has gone out and come back in again.

Seems like the next goal may decide this.

Powell is dispossessed by Miquel and Arsenal go on the attack.
There was a ball on there it looked for Arsenal but thankfully it wasn't played.

Decent spell of pressure here for Arsenal knocking the ball around well. A ball gets played through to Hayden who crosses but nobody's there for Arsenal.
United have the ball down the left with McGinty who crosses and his cross come shot almost gives the keeper a problem.

United corner which gets knocked down to Cole who I think should've had an effort but he lays it off to Cole who tries a curling effort but it's never bothering the keeper.

Januzaj's pass is intercepted by Arsenal's number 10 who run bursts forward it but Januzaj tracks him and fouls him just outside the area.
Another good foul to concede because that was looking like a dangerous attack from Arsenal.
Januzaj the 3rd United player now to receive a yellow.

The game ends 2-2.
Thoroughly enjoyable game, more so in the first half as the 2nd was a little bit more scrappy.
A draw possibly a fair result although United fortunate not to have been down to 10 men as Amos should've seen red.
Powell was excellent. Really impressed with his performance up front. Januzaj and Lingard were also very good, Tunnicliffe also good.
If Januzaj was a little more physically developed, I think we'd have some player on our hands. Still, he's only just turned 18.
Like the look of Akpom and Gnabry for Arsenal.

I think the pitch was probably worse in the end United were attacking in the second half. We seemed far more comfortable attacking central in the second.
