Gunners aiming for the final
THE young guns of Arsenal will be looking to seal their place in the final of the FA Youth Cup on Wednesday when they take on Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium. Steve Bould’s boys came from a goal down to secure a vital 2-1 lead in the first leg at Eastlands last month.
Alex Nimely-Tchuimeni handed City a deserved lead four minutes before the break, but the Gunners emerged from the interval with renewed vigour and vibrancy to seal the win.
Jay Emmanuel-Thomas headed home Jack Wilshere’s corner, before Gilles Sunu wriggled into the area and planted a right-footed effort across the keeper to net what could prove a vital winner.
The second leg of the semi-final takes place on Wednesday April 22 at 7pm. Tickets are available from the Emirates Stadium box office.
