Arsenal U18 fight-back from 2-0 down to beat Tottenham

Arsenal U18s stunned Tottenham to fight-back to a dramatic 3-2 win last night.

Bukayo Saka made an instant impact off the bench, scoring once and assisting Arsenal's equaliser, before Ben Cottrell scored the winning goal deep into stoppage time.

However, it was the visitors who started as the stronger side, when Paris Maghoma punished Arsenal in the seventh minute with a curling finish into the bottom right corner.

Tottenham doubled their lead when Harvey White converted a penalty, but just before the break Luis Binks was shown a straight red card for an altercation with Mark McGuinness, changing the dynamic of the game.

It marked Arsenal's ninth consecutive victory in the U18 Premier League.
