Arsenal were in action against West Ham United in the London derby on Sunday. Mikel Arteta’s side had a game to remember, as they came from three goals down to play out a 3-3 draw with the Hammers in the Premier League match.

It was a match that will be talked about much today and in the coming days, and perhaps even in the coming weeks and months. It was a brilliant game to watch and had all the drama that one would expect.

There was another Arsenal team who were in action on Sunday, and that was the Under-23 side. The young Gunners took on their Everton counterparts in Premier League 2 and played out a 1-1 draw.

Folarin Balogun was in action for the Arsenal Under-23 side. The 19-year-old striker, who is out of contract at the North London club at the end of the season, scored the goal for his team in the 81st minute.

Some Arsenal fans have reacted positively to the goal from the England Under-20 international – whose future at the club is uncertain with no new deal signed – on Twitter, as shown below.
