Nigerian Talents Sparkle As Arsenal Thrash Brighton In U18 Premier League

Nigerian duo Tolaji Bola and Joseph Olowu impressed as Arsenal U18s maintained their unbeaten start to the season with a 3-0 victory over Brighton & Hove in the U18 Premier League on Saturday.

The two teenage defenders went the distance at the American Express Elite Football Performance Centre while Brighton midfielder David Ajiboye subbed off in the 68th minute.

Tolaji Bola, who played as a fullback, launched several attacks from that position and Olowu kept the strikers at bay.

A fourth Nigerian youngster could have been involved but Arsenal stopper Toby Omole watched proceedings from the sidelines.

The young Gunners lead the way in the U18 Premier League after three rounds with 7 points in the kitty, followed by Tottenham Hotspur who have garnered 6 points.
