U18s report: Arsenal 3-2 Southampton

Our under-18s continued their perfect start to the 2025/26 season with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Southampton at the Sobha Realty Training Centre on Saturday.

Ceadach O’Neill put us in front just before half time with an excellent low finish, but the visitors hit back three minutes after the break through Harry Gathercole.

Just after the hour mark, Maalik Hashi stole possession in the Southampton box to set up O’Neill who put us back in front, before Hashi whipped an excellent free-kick into the top corner to double our lead.

The Saints got one back with five minutes to go when Gathercole scored his second from the penalty spot, but we held on to make it two wins from two in the U18s Premier League South.
