Royals beat Arsenal youngsters

Posted on: Wed 24 Sep 2008

Reading's under 18s beat their Arsenal counterparts 3-2 this weekend.

Two of the Arsenal players went on to be on the bench in their first team 6-0 Carling Cup win over Sheffield United, and Eamonn Dolan's young side put in a very good performance against the Gunners.

Gary Frewen scored for us in the very first minute, only for Roarie Deacon and then Jay Emmanuel-Thomas to put the Gunners in front.

Reading then turned to Ghanian youth international striker Kelvin Bossman [pictured], who notched twice inside the last ten minutes to turn the game on its head.
