Arsenal's promise to field big guns did not materialise, unless you count Almunia, in tonights reserve derby. Bergkamp, Cygan and Pires did not play.

Both clubs fielded young sides, but when Lupoli missed a penalty in the first half it looked like Arsenal might foul up.

But goals by Bendtner and Lupoli saw the reserves cruise to an easy victory.The Arsenal defence had a good night, and in the second half rarely looked like conceding.
