Edward Nketiah scored his 8th goal of the U18 Barclays Premier League season in a slender 1-0 victory for Kwame Ampadu’s side at home against Norwich.

Goals from Reiss Nelson, Kaylen Hinds, Chris Willock and a Stephy Mavididi penalty were more than enough to sink an overwhelmed Sunderland side as Arsenal’s crop of u23 players returned to winning ways after a frustrating defeat away in Manchester on Monday.

Arsenal should have been out of sight against Sunderland in the first half.

Arsenal needed the power of Olivier Giroud and the injustice of a terrible refereeing display from Martin Atkinson to see off Sunderland on Saturday lunchtime.

A headed finish from Ro-Shaun Williams was enough for Manchester United’s u23s to secure all three points against an Arsenal side severely depleted due to a handful of talented youngsters training with the first-team squad in preparation for yesterday’s EFL Cup victory over Reading.

Just like all the previous meetings between these teams, Arsenal won against Reading.

Reading had their chances but it was Arsenal’s Young Guns who ran the show during Tuesday night’s EFL Cup clash.

Kwame Ampadu’s side were comprehensively beaten 5-1 away at Reading, and finished the match with ten men after a late dismissal to compound their misery even further.

Well that wasn’t fun at all, especially for Wenger’s birthday!

Arsenal blow Ludogorets away, but who stood out and how did the players do individually?

Arsenal’s 3-2 victory over Swansea wasn’t easy but thanks to goals from Theo Walcott and Mesut Ozil, we did it.

Arsenal returned from the international break and picked up where they left off – with all three points despite Jon Moss’s efforts to ensure Swansea left the Emirates with something.

Arsenal squeezed home against Burnley with a last minute goal we possibly, maybe, didn’t quite deserve, so how did the players do?

Following their 5-0 thrashing over Leicester last weekend, Arsenal’s u18 side continued their impressive start to the campaign with a north London derby victory over Tottenham.
