Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber marked a dream return to action after being absent for eight months.

The defender injured his knee on the very first weekend of this Premier League season.

He is now on the road to recovery, as he took part in an Under-21s game against Blackburn.

Timber scored an impressive goal from the left hand side in the contest to mark his return.

Supporters were impressed, with many taking to social media to praise the defender.
