U-18s: Arsenal 8-0 Swansea - How it happened

We maintained our place at the top of the U-18 Premier League table with a resounding 8-0 win over Swansea City on Sunday.

Trae Coyle scores a hat-trick, while Ben Cottrell netted a stunning brace with two left-footed strikes to guide us to our seventh consecutive league victory.

It took us just nine minutes to unlock the Swans’ defence, when Sam Greenwood latched onto Cottrell’s pass and found the bottom corner with a first-time finish.

Shortly after Folarin Balogun doubled our advantage with a low drive, taking his tally up to 23 for the season across all competitions, before Cottrell found the top-right corner from the edge of the box with a powerful left-footed strike.
