The FA Youth Cup final has produced an outrageous goal as West Ham's Under 18s captain Gideon Kodua lobbed Arsenal's goalkeeper from 35-yards out.

Latching onto a misplaced pass from Gunners centre-back Josh Robinson, Kodua burst through on goal and looked up to spot the goalkeeper off his line.

The 18-year-old then kept his cool under the pressure of recovering defenders to produce a stunning chip that sailed over a backtracking Noah Cooper.
