Arsenal Under-21s suffered a 4-1 loss against Chelsea at Meadow Park on Saturday. Despite fielding Max Dowman and Marli Salmon, Arsenal struggled to capitalize on early chances, allowing Chelsea to build a lead through goals from Leo Black and Reggie Watson. Watson added a second goal from a free-kick in the second half before James Scanlon scored for Arsenal. Chizaram Ezenwata finalized the scoring in stoppage time. Head coach David Horseman noted the team's lack of conviction in the final third, which allowed the visitors to remain clinical.
