Youth, Reserves and Ladies 2015-16

Everton U18 0-0 Villa U18 – HT: It’s all-square at the break in this FA Youth Cup third round tie at Goodison Park. Villa had the better chances in the first period. Rushian Hepburn-Murphy capitalised on a mistake in the Everton defence and rounded goalkeeper Ciaran O’Loughlin but couldn’t force his shot home from a right angle. Hepburn-Murphy was denied by O’Loughlin just past the half-hour mark before Callum O’Hare’s follow-up was cleared off the line. Ben Petty’s team did survive a scare when Delial Brewster’s fierce left-foot drive struck the post.

Hepburn-Murphy with the winner:

Arsenal 1 - Aston Villa 2

Arsenal U21 1-2 Villa U21 - FT: Rushian Hepburn-Murphy’s late goal has earned Villa victory at Boreham Wood. The striker latched onto Jerell Sellars’ pass to finish coolly. It was an impressive response given Arsenal had levelled moments prior courtesy of Donyell Malen’s penalty after Stephy Malvididi was fouled. Villa had taken a first half lead – Sellars tapping home the rebound after Hepburn-Murphy’s strike was saved by goalkeeper Ryan Huddart. Both sides enjoyed opportunities in the first period - Hepburn-Murphy with three for Villa and Kaylen Hinds and Mavididi for Arsenal. Tiago Ilori and Jack Grealish both played the full 90 minutes.

great result for the kids

It's time Rushian Hepburn-Murphy got a chance in the first team squad. He's about the only player at the club scoring goals at any level.

I was thinking about him earlier today; wondering what he was doing. As an aside to that I was looking at all of our options and what we don't have is pace. Anywhere. We've got a 100 metre runner who gets the odd 5 minutes or so, but no-one with pace who knows how to use it. It appears this kid may just be worth throwing in there and saying,'just do what you want to do with it, son'. Pace and no fear. Again, nothing to lose.

I suppose the one thing is if he's physically ready, he's not long turned 17. As i've never seen him play apart from that cameo last season i've no idea if he is or not.

He looked very useful in the last U21 game I watched on AVTV. Not sure he's quite ready yet although a place on the bench wouldn't hurt I suppose.

I assume that Libor is now wrapped up in cotton wool ahead of a January departure

Interesting team for the U21 as much for those not selected as those who were. No seniors such as Kozak, Senderos, or Cissokho on his return. Kevin Toner back in the team though.

This morning I went to the Arsenal.com web site for a report on the game and the teams. Traore played for 52 minutes and early on in the second half missed a sitter inside the 6 yard box.

Just had a look at the OS. Still no report and not even the score. Anyone going to the AVST AGM? Please ask Fox why the club web site is so crap at putting up information on U21 and Academy games for those of us who are interested in the youngsters/reserves.

There is a report above which I presume came from the OS.

[Nelson Lodge]

There is a full report on the OS now.

If referring to the 21 December post then I could not see it on the OS late yesterday afternoon/early evening.
May be wrong in assuming it was put on the OS this morning.

Where did the team sheet and photo come from? Arsenal's web site?
