Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to celebrate after watching Emile Smith Rowe and Folarin Balogun combine for the third goal against Molde last night.
The two Hale End academy graduates linked up in the 83rd minute of the Gunners’ 3-0 Europa League win over the Norwegian outfit, much to the delight of the Arsenal fans below.
It was Balogun’s first goal for the north Londoners on what was just his second taste of first-team action, and what a fine strike it was.
Smith Rowe collected a pass from Kieran Tierney on the left flank, before sending a cut-back towards the 19-year-old striker who scored 38 goals in 41 games for Arsenal’s Under-18 side.
Balogun then took an excellent first touch, before firing his effort beyond Andreas Linde in between the sticks.
It’s always great to see academy prospects flourish in the first-team, so to see two of them combine in Europe must’ve been amazing to watch for Arsenal supporters.
Mikel Arteta’s side now sit top of Group B having won all four of their Europa League outings so far this season.
In those games, Arsenal have scored 12 goals and conceded just two.
Let’s see how the Gunners fans reacted to the wonderful 83rd minute moment…
