Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Mika Biereth for the Under-23 side on Sunday.

The Arsenal Under-23 side got the better of their Southampton counterparts 3-2.

The young Gunners had to come from behind to win the match.

Biereth was among the goalscorers.

The 18-year-old striker scored the third and winning goal for the Arsenal Under-23 side in the 80th minute.

Mika Biereth impresses Arsenal fans

As you can see from the tweets below, Arsenal fans were impressed by Biereth’s performance for the Under-23 side.

Well, some of them anyway.

Some Arsenal fans are very excited to see the partnership between Biereth and Folarin Balogun.

Now, Balogun has played already in the Premier League for the Arsenal senior side.

Biereth has not, but we should not forget that he is only 18.

The teenager joined Arsenal in the summer of 2021 and signed his first professional contract.

Biereth had come through the Fulham youth ranks and was very prolific.

The striker is a regular for the Arsenal Under-23 side and scores goals.

In our opinion, it is only a matter of time before Biereth gets the chance to turn out for the Arsenal first team.sou
