Talented Nigerian Striker On The Mark In Arsenal 4-2 Win Against Wolves

In their second fixture of the U18 Premier League Cup, Arsenal cruised to a comfortable 4-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers at London Colney on Saturday afternoon.

Three players of Nigerian descent in the shape of Tobi Omole, Bukayo Saka and the hugely talented striker Folarin Balogun started for the Young Gunners, while Wolves started with five midfielders including Owen Otasowie.

The home team led 4-0 at the end of the first half , with Balogun, John-Jules (2) and Clarke registering their names on the score-sheet.

Wolves improved after the intermission and reduced the deficit through Austin Samuels, before a Callum Thompson finish made it 4-2.

Arsenal have scored seven goals in the U18 Premier League Cup after two rounds, with Saka, Olayinka and Balogun accounting for three of the goals.

Kwame Ampadu's side travel to Stoke City in the third round of the competition on December 2.
