Gunners were humiliated when they lost 2 - 1 to bottom of the league Reading Piranhas.
Gunners started the game poorly and never got any rhythm going in the first half. Despite having a few attacks down the right hand side Gunners could only create a couple of chances of note when Neil squared the Dave who shot wide and Gunners went close from a corner.
At the other end of the field, the Gunners defence were particularly poor allowing Reading Piranhas to put them under pressure and Piranhas eventually took advantage when they opened the scoring.
The half time score was 1-0 to Piranhas.
In the second half Gunners were a bit more positive and responded by equalising within two minutes when Carl Littlechild played the ball to Paul Stout who shot from outside the box and this went in under the keeper.
Gunners had much the better of the play in the second half but still looked vulnerable to the odd Piranhas counter attack.
Gunners created numerous chances the best of which fell to Jon Hall who had a shot saved from a 1 on 1 with the keeper. Jon also came close when he turned a defender in the box and his shot went over from close range.
In the dying minutes, Piranhas punished Gunners were a low corner was driven into the box and Gunners failed to clear allowing Piranhas to score from close range. Gunners had little time to respond and lost the game 2-1 in another poor display.
