Arsenal youngster Joe Willock has revealed how is he refining the defensive side of his game.

The 18-year-old central midfielder, who's brother Chris joined Benfica from Arsenal this summer, was speaking after the Gunners U23's defeated Leicester on Saturday.

"It was a hard game, some games go like that, you have to just grind it out. I thought the boys did well. I did well in parts. It was a good game," said Willock.

"I just had to focus on the defensive side of the game more than I usually do. For set-pieces I had to be in the right position, but I'm learning to do it so, it's good for me."
