Premier League giants’ Arsenal have, on Monday, unveiled extended highlights of the club’s Academy meeting with Brighton & Hove Albion.
Salah amongst the goals
Kevin Betsy’s men returned to action late last week.
On the back of a fine opening to the campaign, the Gunners’ U23s welcomed Brighton & Hove Albion to the Emirates, ahead of their senior equivalents’ showdown with the Seagulls 24 hours later.
Owing to four wins and a draw from their opening six fixtures, Arsenal were no doubt well aware ahead of the action getting underway in North London that another 3-point haul would guide them clear at the Premier League 2 summit.
And, when all was said and done on Friday evening, march to another victory is precisely what the hosts managed.
A dominant 90 minutes ultimately culminated in Arsenal emerging on the right side of a 3-0 final scoreline.
Folarin Balogun proved the star of the show, notching a brace either side of the interval to take his tally to a head-turning six goals in just four appearances this season.
It was a sumptuous piece of individual skill to secure a spot-kick shortly after the hour mark, though, which saw the prolific hitman truly turn heads online:

Also on target for the 2nd week straight, meanwhile, was highly-regarded midfielder Salah-Eddine Oulad M’Hand.
The midfielder, who made the move to the English capital from Feyenoord last summer, only turned 18 back in August, but has already established himself as a key figure in Arsenal U23 setup.
His latest strike followed a stunning long-range strike during a 2-2 stalemate last weekend:
