Arsenal u18 game against Brighton postponed as driver lost his way and took wrong turn on way to fixture
ARSENAL made a huge blunder that resulted in their Under-18s side seeing their match postponed.
The young Gunners had a fixture against Brighton this afternoon.
Players boarded the team coach this morning with kick-off set for 12pm.
But there was no sign of Arsenal as the Seagulls wondered where their opponents were.
It turns out that the bus carrying the Arsenal team had took a wrong turn off the M25.
They realised they were not going to make it in time and therefore decided to turn back to their London Colney training base.
Arsenal postponed the game with them about 90 minutes from the south coast.
Rumours had spread they arrived at the wrong club and thought they were playing Bournemouth but SunSport understand these reports are incorrect.
The game will now be played at a later date after it was called off.
Arsenal, unlike their team bus, were heading in the right direction on the field after a slow start to the season.
