Arsenal U18

Tyreece John-Jules scored a hat-trick in less than 10 minutes as our under-18s defeated Leicester City 7-0 at London Colney.

The deadlock was broken in the finest of fashions through James Olayinka, who turned his marker with a delicate first-touch, before finding the bottom left corner from the edge of the box.

We’d been executing a high-press strategy against the Foxes from the off, and in the 37th minute we were rewarded for our organised defensive work.

Captain Matthew Smith pounced on a loose ball inside the visitors’ half and played a first-time pass into the feet of John-Jules, who dummied a shot before finding the back of the net with a low left-footed strike.
