FA Youth Cup, 5th round, Tuesday 15 February 2005
Southampton 1 Arsenal 0

The Arsenal under-18 team lost a closely contested game at Southampton last night, their 4th defeat in the last 5 games against the side who have won 22 of their 23 games this season. It was in fact the young Gunners who inflicted their only defeat on the young Saints, but there was to be no repeat last night. The only goal of the game came just after half time, and despite hitting the post through Lupoli and forcing several good saves from the Saints keeper, Arsenal couldn't find the equaliser.
