That 4-2 win over Chelsea was a match that Arsenal's academy might want to keep on tape and show to their age-group squads. It's a great lesson — just look at what you can achieve at this club.
I was at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night and told manager Mikel Arteta afterwards that the academy should be proud of themselves. I'm sure they are.
A resounding result such as this, in a game that Arsenal needed to win, is a ringing endorsement of all their hard work. The four goals came from the feet of academy kids Eddie Nketiah, Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka.
