Meanwhile, the U18s secured a 3-2 victory powered by more goals from Ceadach O’Neill and a world-class free kick from Maalik Hashi that you have to see to believe.
To top it all off, Max Dowman made his senior debut for Arsenal — and he was absolutely spectacular.

We breakdown the biggest flaws in Hale End's approach right now and how the club can get back on the right path. George and I also discuss whether it was Arsenal's fault Chido Obi left.
