\nManchester United u21s took on Arsenal on Friday night in the first round of the Premier League 2 play-offs at Meadow Park.<\/p>\n

United looked bright in the opening proceedings, with Ethan Williams forcing a save from Ovie Ejeheri from long range.<\/p>\n

But Arsenal took the lead after just 14 minutes when Nathan Butler-Oyedeji his the back of the net after initially having his first shot blocked. <\/p>\n

Arsenal skipper Jack Henry-Francis doubled the home side\u2019s lead in the 27th minute, turning home the cross from Reuell Walters.<\/p>\n

The wheels had come for United and Arsenal added a third just minutes later with Butler-Oyedeji setting up Amario Cozier-Duberry.<\/p>\n

Just looking to get in the break at that point, United couldn\u2019t keep it together, allowing a fourth just before the half time whistle. Butler-Oyedeji ran through to round Dermot Mee and finish into an open net. <\/p>\n

Less than 10 minutes after the restart it looked done an dusted for United as Ethan Nwaneri struck the post before being fouled by Toby Collyer to earn a penalty shortly after. The winger stepped up to take it himself and slotted past Mee to make it 5-0. <\/p>\n

Almost half way through the second half, Sam Mather produced a bit of magic to give the traveling United fans at least something to cheer about. The United winger initially won the free-kick at the edge of the Arsenal box and then showed his dead ball specialty by hitting the back of the net.<\/p>\n

Mather came close again later in the match but was denied by a good save. <\/p>\n

Into injury time, Arsenal added a sixth through Cozier-Duberry before United substitute Gabriele Biancheri added a consolation goal in the dying seconds. <\/p>\n

The loss marks a disappointing end of the season for Travis Binnion\u2019s group, who experienced a series of highs and lows throughout the campaign. <\/p>\n

United: Mee, Kingdon, Bennett, Aljofree, Murray, Collyer (Devaney 58), Oyedele, Scanlon (Biancheri 58), Mather, Williams (Kamason 76), McNeill (Curley 75)<\/p>\n

Subs not used: Huddlestone<\/em><\/p>\n
