U-18s: Fulham 0-3 Arsenal - How it happened

We were crowned champions of the U-18 Premier League South on Saturday following a hard-fought 3-0 win over Fulham.

The scoreline made it look like a routine win - but this was anything but, as we scored three goals in the final 15 minutes to secure all three points.

We dominated the opening exchanges, with Matt Smith and Folarin Balogun finding plenty of space in the final third - but we were handed an early reminder of the hosts’ attacking threat, when Tom Smith made a smart save to deny Timmy Abraham on the counter.

The remainder of the first half proved to be a cagey affair, as both sides struggled with the heavy wind - and the majority of the second half followed a similar narrative.
