Some Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Charlie Patino for the Gunners Under-23 side against their Manchester United counterparts yesterday.

What’s the story?

The Arsenal Under-23 side were in action against their United counterparts.

The Gunners eased to a 3-1 win.

Florian Balogun scored the first two goals in the game for the North London club.

Shola Shoretire halved the deficit for the Red Devils, but Patino wrapped up proceedings with a brilliant finish past United goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

The 17-year-old midfielder was superb in the middle of the park for Arsenal, and his goal was wonderful.

The youngster won possession in the United half and went on a run that eventually ended in goal.

Patino imposed himself in the middle of the park, made some good passes, and was able to play himself out of tight spaces.

What are Arsenal fans saying?

As you can see from the tweets below, Arsenal fans were very impressed by Patino yesterday and believe that he is a gem.

Well, some of them anyway.

Patino is unlikely to become a regular in the Arsenal first team anytime soon.

After all, the midfielder is only 17.

However, the teenager could get chances in cup competitions this season.
