Arsenal 3-0 Portsmouth; Gunners Crush Pompey

Arsenal Under 18’s returned to winning ways by crushing Portsmouth 3-0 at London Colney this morning. First half strikes from Alban Bunjaku and Philip Roberts set The Gunners on their way, before Callum Webb added a third 15 minutes from time.

Steve Bould was able to welcome back striker Philip Roberts from injury during the week and he went straight into the starting lineup. Dutchman Kyle Ebecilio kept his place while a defensive re-shuffle saw the impressive Josh Rees drop out in favour of Jordan Wynter at right back.

McDermott
Wynter – Angha – Monteiro – Bihmoutine
Bunjaku – Webb – Ebecilio
Monakana – Roberts – Neita

Subs: Charles-Cook (GK), Smith, Edge, Rees.

Arsenal took just 90 seconds to open the scoring against Portsmouth, the league’s bottom club. Winger Alban Bunjaku coolly finished to put the hosts in front. Bould’s boys pilled on the pressure and found a second 13 minutes later; Roberts marking his return with a goal.

Portsmouth tried to battle back, but Callum Webb sealed the win with a rare goal from midfield. Three goals, three points and a confidence boosting win for Bould’s improving youngsters.

    Afobe played really, really good. The other forwards were substituted but he didn’t. Only the selfishness of his team-mates stopped him to get a goal.
