Arsenal U21s player ratings vs Man City U21s as Cozier-Duberry superb

Ovie Ejeheri: Made a couple of decent saves from close range to deny City from adding to their total, especially with a stop with his close feet late on. Could perhaps have parried the shot that led to Heskey's goal further away from danger. No chance to stop Susoho's superb free-kick. 7.

Reuell Walters: Looked comfortable in and out of possession. Got forward well on a couple of occasions, making one superb run in the first-half that advanced his side about 40 yards up the pitch. His assist for Cozier-Duberry was even more impressive, powering past two City players before laying it off. 8.

Taylor Foran: Read the game well, cutting out a couple of through balls and making an excellent block in the first-half. Perhaps a little slow with the ball at his feet, though. 7.

Zane Monlouis: Defended superbly in the duels, making a number of timely interceptions to shut City's attack out. Also came in with a superb block in the second-half. 7.

Ayden Heaven: Wasn't very involved in the play, with most of Arsenal's attacking coming down the right. Combined well with Sagoe Jr when in possession, though. 6.

Josh Nichols: Struggled to impose himself on the game in possession. Taken off for Kamara at half-time. 5.

Michal Rosiak: Was tidy enough with the ball at his feet, keeping the game ticking without doing anything spectacular. Did give it away in a dangerous area early in the second half. 6.

Jimi Gower: One of Arsenal's brightest players on the evening. He saw a superb long-range effort brilliantly saved onto the crossbar in the first half. Impressed with the ball at his feet in tight spaces, showing great control. Unlucky not to score. 8.

Charles Sagoe Jr: When he got the ball at his feet, he frequently beat his man one versus one. Had a great chance in the first half but he took too long to lay it to a teammate. Did well to create Edwards' goal by working hard to win the ball back before cutting it across the box. 7.

Khayon Edwards: Pretty quiet first-half display from the usually prolific Edwards. He didn't have much to work with in terms of service but he did win Arsenal their penalty after the break. Looked much better when Arsenal switched to a 4-4-2, eventually netting the third after a scrappy goalmouth scramble. 7.

Amario Cozier-Duberry: Another impressive performance from Cozier-Duberry, who can't be far away from making his first-team, debut. Some intelligent movement in behind the City defence before he saw his penalty saved but he tapped in the rebound. Clinical finish to get his second, using his weaker right foot well to find the bottom corner. 9.

SUBSTITUTES :

Osman Kamara : Didn't get a whole lot of the ball despite being brought on at half-time. 5.

Maldini Kacurri: Came on too late to influence the game. N/A.
