Thanks BD will have a look at the blues of the future

Great to see youth football getting this kind of coverage :026:

 

[Skoorb]

Disappointing slow start from the young Blues sees them concede on 6 minutes :013:

Sloppy ball from Garcia in the middle of the blue half of the pitch gave the ball away cheaply and the Arsenal player stroked the ball home from 18 yards

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

2nd best all but equalise from Diaz with a scruffy goal

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Back on top 3-2 on agg

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Have to say it was much against the run of play, Arsenal do have to score. I hope City don't think they can defend for another 70 mins and not concede

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

A lot of our lads under hitting passes which means that The Tarquins have well watered this pitch

 

[Skoorb]

Goal for City!

Diaz heads home after a flowing City move. Great work from Diaz initially as the ball is worked wide to Nemane. His slide rule grass cutting cross into the six yard box is met by City's Nmecha but his close range effort is pushed onto the bar by the Arsenal keeper. Diaz though has not stood still but following up he is on hand to head the ball off the underside of the bar and over the line

1-1 (agg 2-3)

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Don't think that was a foul, the Gooners defender list the ball and then fell down and got the free

 

[Skoorb]

I repeat - it is great for youth football to be getting an outing on national tv :091:

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Another sloppy piece of work by Davenport lets in the Gooners but luckily side netting

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

25 gone and these Tarquins know how to go down

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

I am not saying this ref is a homer but **cking hell ref

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Corner to Gooners

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Cleared but a shot from 35 meters hit like a daisy cutter straight to Grimshaw

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

30 gone and most of the game is being played in the City half

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

Diaz with dazzling run but then poor final ball

 

[Buzz Lightyear]

City take the lead after the Tarquins are caught napping Garcia over the top and Rodney Kongolo puts it in, 2 shots 2 goals
