  1. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 21:02 #3937

    FT: Arsenal U21 4-2 Southampton U21: And that's full time after an entertaining Premier League 2 clash here at Meadow Park that saw Mehmet Ali's Young Guns come back from 2-1 down at half time. Thanks for reading, see you at the Emirates tomorrow lunchtime for Arsenal Women vs Man Utd Women

    Goal! Arsenal U21 3-2 Saints U21. Ismail Ouland M’Hand fires home after a relatively quiet game so far. Not any more though - what an excellent strike from the edge of the area to put the home side ahead here at Meadow Park

    Goal! Arsenal U21 2-2 Saints U21. A cracking strike into the top corner from distance by No11 Osman Kamara before promptly racing back for the restart

    Half time sub for Arsenal: The disappointing Ovie Ejeheri is replaced by No13 Alexei Rojas Fedorushchenko

  6. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 20:06 #3932

    While Arsenal have lost just twice in the league all season - it has to be said they are without a win in their last two matches - with their second league defeat coming at the hands of Wolves at the end of January, followed up with last week's 1-1 draw vs Leeds United

  7. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 19:51 #3931

    And that's half time with he score Arsenal U21 1-2 Saints

  8. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 19:49 #3930

    Ayden Heaven tangles with Saints No8, captain and goalscorer Cameron Bragg which ended in the Gunners No3 on the deck. Referee Farah Hallam sensibly gives both players a talking to when the ball is dead and we carry on

  9. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 19:40 #3929

    Frustrating to see Southampton U21s stage such a first half turnaround following a bright start by the home side

  10. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 19:37 #3928

    35 - GOAL - Arsenal 1-2 Southampton - Saints score direct from skipper Cameron Bragg's corner as Arsenal keeper Ejeheri fails to claim the cross

  11. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 19:29 #3927

    However, the visitors’ No9 Luke Pearce lobs Young Guns keeper Ovie Ejeheri to level and make the score 1-1 here at Meadow Park

  12. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 19:28 #3926

    25 - A last ditch tackle by No3 Ayden Heaven prevents Saints No8 Cameron Bragg from pulling the trigger as the home side attempt to clear

  13. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 19:23 #3925

    22 - Saints No6 Harrison Miles fires the ball high over the Arsenal bar

  14. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 19:21 #3924

    Gunners tenacious No10 Jimi Gower is having a good game so far

  15. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 19:17 #3923

    15 minutes gone and it's Arsenal U21 1-0 Saints U21 here at Meadow Park

  16. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 19:07 #3922

    4 - Osman Kamara should have scored with the goal at his mercy moments after the opener but Saints keeper Josh McNamara blocked well

  17. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 19:06 #3921

    3 - GOAL! Young Guns No9 Nathan Butler-Oyedeji with a superb curler from the edge of the box into the top corner to put Mehmet Ali’s side ahead after 180 seconds here at Meadow Park

  18. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 18:58 #3920

    Not long now until kick-off. I'm sitting yards away from Arsenal Academy supremo Per Mertesacker. I once interviewed him one-on-one after he released his book a few years back., A good guy,. Incidentally you can still see the interview on the Gooner's You Tube channel

  19. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 18:50 #3919

    Saints U21s' form has been patchy with a mere two wins in their last 10 games in all competitions. They currently sit in 18th place with 13 points after 12 games

  20. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 18:49 #3918

    A familiar face in the Southampton U21 side here at Meadow Park with former Gunner Zach Awe as Saints No3. We wish him all the best - apart from tonight of course

  21. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 18:48 #3917

    We were here at Meadow Park this time last week on a filthy night as the Gunners came from behind to earn a point at home to Leeds thanks to the impressive Josh Robinson’s second half equaliser. See our website for our player ratings from last Friday's match played for the most part in torrential rain

  22. Layth Yousif at Meadow Park : 18:42 #3916

    Mehmet Ali’s Arsenal U21s are in third place in Premier League 2 with 24 points from 12 games
