Arsenal had to watch Chelsea lift the Under-18s Premier League title after losing 3-1 at Cobham Training Centre on Saturday.
The first half saw several chances for both sides and it could be argued the visitors looked more likely to score after Aaron Eyoma squandered two golden chances.
There was drama when Chelsea's Jacob Maddox was given a second yellow card for a high foot in the 50th minute.
Despite being a man down, the hosts went ahead when Isaac Christie-Davis curled a free-kick into the top corner.
Substitute Harvey St Clair was on target 10 minutes later, but 60 seconds later the Gunners pulled one back through Eddie Nketiah’s powerful drive.
Cole Dasilva condemned the visitors to defeat three minutes later with an assured finish.
