Former Arsenal starlet Malcolm Ebiowei scored for the Eagles against Arsenal with a fantastic left footed effort in the 28th minute although he did not celebrate the goal.

Arsenal restored parity from Bandeira, and even saw a shot come off the bar afterwards.

Ebiowei came into the lineup in place of another player of Nigerian descent Victor Akinwale against the Young Gunners as manager Paddy McCarthy made four changes from the side which drew 3-3 against regining Premier League 2 Division 1 champions Manchester City.

Arsenal paraded young winger Marquinhos and that may be involved also in the UEFA Europa League.
