A six-goal thriller saw Brighton & Hove Albion’s under 18s draw 3-3 at Arsenal on Saturday.
Albion started the game brilliantly, as Connor Tighe dribbled from the halfway line to the edge of the opponents' penalty area, before whipping a powerful drive into the top corner.
Arsenal were able to peg Albion back just before the half-hour mark; Josh Smith pulled off a great save to deny Ben Sheath only for the rebound to fall kindly to Harry Donovan, who equalised for the Gunners.
Albion were back in control ten minutes later, as an excellent through ball from Remy Meyers found Ragnar Mar-Larusson, with the latter finishing well from an acute angle.

The Gunners then netted a goal within a minute after the restart, as a solo effort from Savva Mourgos levelled the scores once again.The North Londoners carried on their momentum and took the lead for the first time, when Aaron Eyoma converted a low cross from close range.
Simon Rusk’s side showed great character to respond immediately as the impressive Will Collar won the ball in midfield, before threading a delightful through ball to James Tilley.
The striker’s effort was saved by Hugo Keto in the Arsenal goal, but substitute Connor Pring was on hand to convert the rebound on 67 minutes with his first touches of the game.
The Seagulls then looked the more likely to snatch all three points, and were unlucky not to do so late on, as James Tilley saw his curling effort go just wide of the left post.
ALBION: Smith (GK); Courtney, Horncastle, White, Barnett; Collar, Hutchinson, Tighe, Mar-Larusson (Pring 66), Meyers (Maguire-Drew 51), Tilley. Subs not used: Cox, Brown
