Kris Olsson thrilled with first Arsenal goal

Arsenal midfielder Kris Olsson was delighted to score in victory over the Indonesian Allstars on the weekend.

The 18-year-old made the most of his chance after coming on as a second-half substitute in Jakarta when he latched on to Tomas Rosicky's cross to score his first Arsenal goal.

"I'm delighted with the win and the run out, and I scored as well so I'm very happy," Olsson told Arsenal Player.

"I saw that Tomas had the ball outside the box. He's got great vision and he just passed it to me. It was a great pass and not the most difficult goal I've scored.

"It's always good to score and great for your confidence as well so I'm very happy. I've found the tour really good - all the first-team players care about us younger players and I feel like one of the team."
