Joe Willock rounded off the scoring on Wednesday night as our under-21s beat Coventry City 3-0 in their first-ever Checkatrade Trophy clash.

The League One outfit fielded a number of senior players - and Willock believes that such an experience will be crucial to his development at the club.

He spoke to Arsenal Player after the final whistle - and this is what he said:

on the team’s bright start…
I thought we did well. It’s a young side and I thought that we dealt with the pressure well, and we were clever and mature in the way that we played, and I thought that we took our chances, but we should have finished them off more at the end.
