Folarin Balogun played well for the Arsenal Under-23 side against their Manchester City counterparts at the Emirates Stadium.

Folarin Balogun of Arsenal FC looks on during the Premier League 2 match between Arsenal FC U23s and Chelsea FC U23s at Meadow Park on February 17, 2020 in Borehamwood, England.

Some Arsenal fans were impressed with the performance of Folarin Balogun for the Under-23 side against their Manchester City counterparts on Friday evening.

Balogun was in action for the Arsenal Under-23 team against their City counterparts at the Emirates Stadium in North London in Premier League 2 Division 1.

The 18-year-old striker had a very good game on a personal level, as the teenager scored once, was a force to be reckoned with on the left, and was a constant threat to the City defence with his pace.

The striker – who has yet to play for the Gunners’ first team – could have even bagged a hat-trick against City, and some Arsenal fans were impressed with the teenager, suggested on Twitter that he is better than 28-year-old France international forward Alexandre Lacazette, who has scored six goals and provided three assists in 19 Premier League appearances and has scored two goals in five Europa League games for the North London outfit this season, according to WhoScored.
