Match report: West Ham U-18s 1-2 Arsenal

Charles Sagoe Jr scored a dramatic 89th-minute winner as our under-18s opened their Premier League Cup campaign with a 2-1 victory at West Ham United.

We started brightly against our London rivals, with the lively Marcelo Flores starting a sweeping move forward before racing on and seeing his shot from inside the area blocked.

Remy Mitchell then had to be alert to keep out a looping header from Hammers defender Regan Clayton before the interval.

But we took control after the restart when Flores played a lovely through ball for Khayon Edwards, who beat the last man and kept his cool to slot home the opener.
