Hector Bellerin enjoys full 90 for Arsenal U23 in Liverpool draw

Arsenal fullback Hector Bellerin completed 90 minutes as they came from two goals down to draw with Liverpool at Meadow Park.

The Spaniard came close to an opener when he drove through the visitors' defence and fired a shot at goal but Ben Winterbottom saved well at his near post.

Matt Macey then made a brilliant recovery save to keep out Rhian Brewster's looping header from close range.

Liverpool's pressure paid off when Curtis Jones tapped in following Luis Longstaff's low cross.

The second then came when Jones met another Longstaff cross to head home.

The Gunners were back in it on the stroke of half-time when Nathan Tormey beat the offside trap to slot the ball past Winterbottom.

Early in the second half Folarin Balogun levelled the scores when he made no mistake from close range following Bellerin's low cross.
