Arsenal’s U23s were fantastic on Friday evening. They beat Brighton 3-0 and a number of the club’s young talents shone through.
Charlie Patino was fantastic as ever, while Folarin Balogun netted a brace against the Seagulls.
However, the one player who caught the eye more than any other was M’hand Salah-Eddine.
The Dutch midfielder netted a goal and played a blinder for the U23s, putting in a mature and composed performance.
