Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson admits he's living out his dream playing for his boyhood club.

Jenkinson loved beating Tottenham last season.

"The one that sticks in my head is at home to Spurs, beating them on our home turf. As a Gooner that was something special. I only played 20-odd minutes but to be a part of that was an amazing feeling," he told arsenal.com.

"There have been ups and downs but I've learnt a lot and I feel I've progressed a lot as a football player in my first year."
