Pick that one out! West Ham starlet Gideon Kodua scores STUNNING 35-yard lob in FA Youth Cup final against Arsenal... as U18s captain nets third goal in rampant first half for east Londoners

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.

Kodua's brilliant effort saw the visitors at the Emirates stadium round off a dominant first-half that put them in firm control of the final leading 3-1 at the break.
