Highly entertaining first half on a not so great pitch although it's still better than Old Trafford.

Quite impressed with how Powell has played up top.

Gnabry gonna be a big star

Quick question, Powell, how is he doing? compared to the triumvirate that won the youth cup, how does he hold up?

----------------------------------------------------

Sorry RAT, went away for a minute.

He's looked a class above at this level in most games he's played and has done very well tonight considering he's playing in a position which he's not used to.

He needs to go out on loan.

Ball from McGinty up to Lingard who touches it down nicely for Januzaj who tries to find Powell who makes a run in behind Arsenal's defence but Januzaj's pass is slightly over-hit.

Cole's been quite quiet tonight compared to Lingard, Januzaj and Powell. Most of our play has been happening down our left hand side.

Powell brings down Arsenal's number 10 about 25 yards from goal.

Henderson takes the free-kick with his left foot and it bounces off the wall out for a corner kick.

Powell on the receiving end of a challenge this time as he gets fouled just inside Arsenal's half.

Powell looks for a penalty after going to ground inside the area but the referee waves it away.

Would've been soft.

come on utd

Really good hold up play by Powell who shows good strength and he finds Lingard who then finds Januzaj and he looked like he was fouled but the referee carries on play and Cole's shot is blocked and goes out for a corner.

Lucky Amos

amos

Long ball played long by Arsenal to Akpom. Amos comes rushing out of his goal and catches Akpom with his arm.

Amos booked.

I thought he punched it at first.

Arsenal free-kick just outside the area now from that Amos foul but Eisfeld puts his effort over the bar.

Fornasier booked for fouling Eisfeld who was away.

Good foul to concede.

Lovely little flick by Januzaj to find Lingard.

Tunnicliffe has an effort on goal from distance but it's curls away from goal and out for a goal-kick.

Should've been 3 as Akpom heads over the bar from close range although McGinty maybe done enough to put him off.

Good play by Arsenal's number 3 out left to set him up.

Arsenal counter 4 against 3 but fail to capitalise.

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.
