Arsenal’s Under 16’s matched their Under 18 counterparts by securing victory against Ipswich Town on Saturday morning.
However, unlike their older counterparts, Steve Gatting’s boys finished nearly every attack, hitting six unanswered strikes. Captain Benik Afobe was missing after playing and scoring for the England Under 16 team, but in Zak Ansah Arsenal had a free scoring replacement.
Oğuzhan Özyakup and Ignasi Miquel were with Steve Bould, yet the latter did play the full 90 minutes.
Chuks Aneke took over the arm-band from Afobe, and certainly led by example. The tall and skillful powerhouse bagged a fantastic brace, before Samir Carrurthers dispatched a penalty to make it 3-0.
16-year-old Neil Johnston added the fourth, Ansah made it 5 in 6 with another tidy finish. The destruction was completed late on as Ghanaian centre back Daniel Boateng headed the 6th.

Why doesn’t play Nordtveit?
“We have lost Mark Randall to a groin strain picked up last Thursday,” he said. “Kieran Gibbs and Jack Wilshere have been pulled today because of the first team picking up a few injuries over the weekend. It is not ideal but it does give others a chance.
“Gavin [Hoyte] will start at right back tonight and Luke [Ayling] will come in at centre half. Luke has done really well for Steve Bould in the Under-18s and the opportunity has arisen. We will give him a chance tonight and hopefully he will take it and continue that good work.”
@ athlon
Nordtveit only recently returned from a flight from Salamanca. He is being rested for this week but will return to the team next week.
Great result for the U16’s despite no Afobe, Ansah is a player to really look out for, most of you might not really have heard about him but he is an up and coming star.
And great article J. Sanderson! (sorry I dont know your first name)
Afobe, Aneke, Ansah. That’s an A-Team I’d LIKE to watch.
