Our young Gunners battled back to earn a point in a 1-1 draw against Leicester City in the U18 Premier League South.<\/strong><\/p>\n Birmark Owusu opened the scoring for the Foxes at LCFC Training Ground, before Andre Harriman-Annous nodded in to restore parity and share the rewards on the road.<\/p>\n We got off to a slow start and were punished when Lorenz Hutchinson forced Jack Porter into a save that could only be parried into the path of Owusu, who was well placed to finish the rebound.<\/p>\n A response was found through clever play by Louis Zecevic John, who was alert to a quick free-kick that opened up space to chip a ball across the goal face for Harriman-Annous to head home and level ahead of the interval.<\/p>\n The second 45 offered little in the way of clear-cut chances until substitutes Bailey-Joseph and Kyran Thompson combined, the latter\u2019s strike needing a superb block to deny us a late lead, as we ultimately settled for a point in Leicestershire.<\/p>\n Our young Gunners continue their U18 Premier League South campaign when they travel to West Ham United on Tuesday, May 5.<\/p>\n Kick-off at Little Heath Sports Ground is at 12pm (UK time).<\/p>\n Leicester City XI: <\/strong>Marson, Diallo, Dignum, Aideed, Toko, de Lisle, Carr (Anugo 88), Owusu, Manyumba, Hutchinson, Corden (Fletcher 69).<\/p>\n Subs not used: <\/strong>Stretton, Boothe, Jacklin.<\/p>\n Arsenal XI:<\/strong> Porter, Stachow, Ogunnaike, Owusu-Gyasi, Sampang (Phillips 80), Murisa, Julienne, Harriman-Annous, O\u2019Neill (Bailey-Joseph 71), Mooney (Thompson 71), Zecevic John (Marciniak 80).<\/p>\n Subs not used: <\/strong>Talbot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Copyright 2026 The Arsenal Football Club Limited.
