HIGHLIGHTS, Arsenal vs Leicester City (3 3), U23, Three goals in stoppage time
Our under23s completed a barely believable comeback by scoring three times in injury time to rescue a draw against Leicester on Saturday. We made a confident start at London Colney, and had the ball in the net after a flowing team move resulted in Mika Biereth firing into the roof of the net but the goal was flagged for offside. That was the only action of note in the first half, but after the restart the game burst to life in spectacular fashion. The Foxes drew first blood when Terell Pennant slotted home just after the hour mark, and soon doubled their advantage when Tawanda Maswanhise curled a fine finish home from the edge of the area. The away side came close to making it three when Jacob Wakeling dispossessed Zane Monlouis and raced through on goal, but Zak Swanson s superb lastditch tackle saved us. But Leicester did make it three when, with 13 minutes remaining, Ben Nelson s header crept past Karl Hein at the near post leaving us three goals down.
