<h2>Goalscorers</h2>
46 minutes: David Omilabu gives Paddy McCarthy’s side the lead inside the first minute of the second-half. A well-taken effort from the middle of the box, after Rowan Smith found the in-form striker.
59 minutes: Marcelo Flores equalises for the Gunners with an excellent outside-of-the-box strike into the bottom right corner.
66 minutes: Khayon Edwards gives Arsenal the lead from inside the penalty box, getting on the end of a Kido Taylor-Hart cross.
83 minutes: Omilabu at the double, with a similar position to his first goal – only this time the forward finishes with his left foot.
86 minutes: An almost instant reply from the home side, with Flores scoring his second and the final goal of the afternoon – again, from outside the area.
