Right. All that's left for me is to say thank you for reading our coverage from Meadow Park this evening - next stop Anfield on Sunday. Come on you Gunners, cheers

FT: Arsenal U21 1-0 Brighton U21 - and that's the final whistle after a slightly fortuitous victory over their visitors - although it has to be said Max Porter's side showed excellent character to hold on when Brighton were dominating - especially after the loss of the talented keeper Tommy Setford before the interval

Four minutes added time announced here at Meadow Park with the Young Guns 1-0 up after Seb Ferdinand's late goal

Goal! Arsenal U21 1-0 Brighton: Seb Ferdinand slots home with a cool finish at the far post in the 88th minute here at Meadow Park as his delighted teammates chase after him to celebrate

Albert Stuivenberg has seen enough and heads home with the score still 0-0 with a matter of minutes remaining

Good to see Maldini Kaccuri absolutely blast his opponent in faulty winning a 50/50 ball. I love a good old blood and thunder challenge - especially from a big centre-half

A recap of the Arsenal substitutes this evening: Ceadach O’Neill for Andre Harriman-Annous at half time, Theo Julienne on for Ifeoluwa Ibrahim and of course Remi Mitchell on for the injured Tommy Setford before the interval

75 - With 15 minutes remaining it's still Arsenal U21s 0-0 Brighton U21s here at Meadow Park

73 - Demaine Agustien's corner for Arsenal is overhit and the ball goes out for a goal kick to Brighton after the Gunners first attack following a spell of concerted Brighton pressure.

72 - Charles Sagor Jnr's low shot takes a slight deflection and goes for a corner

71 - Arsenal keeper Remy Mitchell punches away a corner as the Gunners break upfield

FOUL - 69 - Arsenal No6 Ibrahim fouls Brighton No10 Shane Nti - with the Gunners young defender replaced immediately afterwards by Theo Julienne

As we approach the 70 minute mark, Brighton are dominating possession while attempting to work space in behind, as they attempt to break the deadlock

A spot of luck there for Arsenal U21s as Brighton's 'goal' is disallowed for offside after a sweeping Seagulls move after Josh Nicols gave the ball away on the halfway line. An escape for Max Porter's young side

57 - Arsenal U21s substitute keeper Remi Mitchell saves low down to keep the score goalless here at Meadow Park

And we're off again with the score Arsenal U21s 0-0 Brighton U21s here at Meadow Park

HT: Arsenal U21 0-0 Brighton - goalless at the break here at Meadow Park with the news that talented Young Guns keeper Tommy Setford was forced off with an injury before the break. Let’s hope it’s not too serious

Seven minutes time added on in the first half here at Meadow Park as we look out onto a gloriously orange late summer sunset behind Boreham Wood's North Bank

As he hurls down his goalkeeper's gloves in frustration when he reaches the dugout...

Oh dear. Arsenal U21 keeper Tommy Setford hobbles off after picking up an injury here at Meadow Park. Such a shame for the lad let’s hope it’s not too serious

40 - foul - Arsenal No11 Charles Sagoe Jnr is cynically brought down on the halfway line as Brighton break up play

37 - Another quick break in play - ostensibly for drinks but it seems more for tactical instruction from both managers as both teams gather on the far touchline. Do young players need two timeouts per half? Can't they think for themselves...?

27 - Brighton follow up Setford's save shortly afterwards with Zane Albarus hitting the woodwork with a right footed shot from outside the box following the corner

An absolutely superb save from Arsenal U21 keeper Tommy Setford after Brighton forward Nehmiah Oriola showed quick feet to work space before unleashing a stinging drive the young keeper tipped over. Excellent anticipation, athleticism, footwork and strong hands there from Setford

17 - We have a drinks break as Max Porter gives a spot of tactical advice to his young charges

10 minutes gone it's Arsenal U21s 0-0 Brighton with both sides attempting to dominate but none too much at the moment

Plenty of young guns already with first team experience including Maldini Kacurri at the heart of the backline, with Josh Nicols on the right. Charles Sagoe Jnr on the wing. Tommy Setford is in goal while Louie Copley captains the side here at Meadow Park

Young Guns boss Max Porter has selected a strong side
