City performed well in the first-half but undeservedly trailed at the interval. Arsenal's Sam Greenwood netted either side of a Atli Barkarson equaliser.

However, three goals in the second-half saw City defeated. Harry Clarke and Trae Coyle (2) got the goals for the Gunners.

Next up for City is a trip to Chelsea on Saturday (12pm).
