Not quite the start the Eagles were hoping for as they started their home campaign today.
A fairly even first half saw the two head into the break at 0-0
The second half started in a similar fashion until Joshua Watts saw red for the home side for an incident I for one am still not clear on.
The home side were still creating chances but the deadlock was broken when a soft penalty was awarded to the visitors for a push, Samuel Griffiths put the ball straight down the middle to beat James Elliott in the Arna' goal, 0-1.
With nine minutes left substitute Jorge Eley made it 2-0 to the visitors, when he curled a shot past Elliott.
One blot on the day was a nasty looking injury to Arnold's Max Pashley who went off in the first half, we await news on that one...
We go again on Tuesday again at Eagle Valley where Graham St Prims are the visitors...
