Arsenal’s U-18 side witnessed an incredible performance from Nigerian-born striker, Chido Martin Obi, who secured an astonishing seven goals during their emphatic 9-0 victory over Norwich City on Saturday.
The 16-year-old sensation showcased his talent by netting five goals in the first half alone, followed by two more after the break, bringing his total to 24 goals in his last seven matches.
