Manchester City's dreams of FA Youth Cup glory were gunned down in the most heartbreaking of fashions at Arsenal in a semi-final that was settled by a 120th-minute winner.
City's youngsters were a goal and a man down after Lakyle Samuel's seventh-minute red card and Arsenal's scoring of the subsequent free-kick, but would produce a performance full of guts, discipline and desire to take the game to extra time, where they ultimately fell short in agonising fashion.
City's whole squad fell to the turf when Myles Lewis-Skelly headed home in injury time of the second half of extra-time after a heroic comeback that deserved so much more. Justin Oboavwuduo's 75th-minute equaliser gave City the rewards for their efforts in normal time but it would count for nothing as Arsenal progressed to the Youth Cup final.
