Arsenal thrash Tottenham in FA Youth Cup

Arsenal thumped Tottenham 5-2 in the FA Youth Cup last night.

Arsenal twice came from behind to secure a dramatic 5-2 win over Tottenham and book their place in the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup.

Strikes from Ben Cottrell and Bukayo Saka ensured that the tie went to extra time, before three goals inside 15 minutes guaranteed Arsenal's progress.

Xavier Amaechi gave Arsenal the lead for the first time with a simple finish from close range, before Folarin Balogun doubled the advantage from six yards.

In the second half of extra time Saka scored the pick of the goals as he received the ball on the edge of the box and fired a stunning effort into the top corner from 20 yards.
