Hector Bellerin was delighted for teammate Chuba Akpom following Arsenal's first pre-season match on Wednesday.
The Gunners opened up their summer account by defeating a Singapore Select XI 4-0 in the Barclays Asia Trophy at the National Stadium in Singapore.
Akpom netted in the 29th, 76th (penalty) and 79th minutes, with Jack Wilshere also hitting the back of the net from the spot, and the performance of the 19-year-old was certainly not lost on right-back Bellerin who was quick to congratulate him via Twitter.
Link up play like the youth team days. Congrats @cakpom on you hat-trick bro! pic.twitter.com/5vJ9MBss8M
