Match report: Arsenal U-18s 3-2 Tottenham Hotspur

We got off to the best possible start in 2022, beating Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 on a wet Saturday afternoon at London Colney.

Both Marcelo Flores and Mauro Bandeira started in midfield, despite featuring for Kevin Betsy's side against Brighton the night before, in what was a strong starting lineup.

However, it was the visitors who almost landed the game's first telling blow, having a goal ruled out for offside after just two minutes.

The disallowed goal proved to be just the wake-up call we needed, as Charles Sagoe Jr gave us the lead moments later, finding the bottom left-hand corner with a thumping strike from 20 yards out.
