Arsenal youngster hits 6 g/a in 3 games

The Arsenal u18s secured a 3-2 victory over Birmingham City in the u18 Premier League Cup, maintaining their impressive form. The young Gunners had been on a winning streak, defeating Birmingham 3-3 in their previous match in August. In Saturday's game, Axel Donczew started for Arsenal, while Vincent Joseph began on the bench. Birmingham took an early lead shortly after the start of the match but Arsenal equalized through Jaden Maghoma's penalty.

The young players then took the lead with Charlie Purdy's assist for Abraham Owusu-Gyasi. Despite Birmingham equalizing again, Arsenal secured the win thanks to Maghoma's second penalty of the game. At just 15-years-old, Maghoma has been instrumental in the team's recent successes, contributing six goals in their four-game winning streak.

The victory ensures Arsenal will finish the group stage ahead of Birmingham, sitting four points ahead with one game remaining. The outcome of the final match against Sunderland will determine if Arsenal can top the group and advance to the knockout stages.
