Premier League 2

19-year-old midfielder cancels out Brandon Cooper strike to edge Gunners a point clear on top of Division 1

Charlie Gilmour struck a late equaliser to help salvage a 1-1 with Swansea City at Landore and move Arsenal a point clear at the top of Premier League 2 Division 1.

With 12 minutes remaining, the Arsenal midfielder struck a 30-yard shot that took a deflection on its way into the bottom corner.

Swansea had taken the lead against the D1 champions when Brandon Cooper scored a 42nd-minute header.

The draw means Arsenal are on 16 points, one ahead of Everton, who can replace them with a win against Manchester City on Saturday evening.

Swansea lie 11th with four points.
