Arsenal coach Mehmet Ali expressed his pride in the club's under-21 side this week.

The Gunners' youngsters picked up a memorable EFL Trophy win against Exeter City.

Charles Sagoe Jr, Khayon Edwards, Jack Henry-Francis, and Seb Ferdinand all scored in an emphatic 5-0 win for the young Guns.

Asked about the display post-game, Ali stated: We, as a group of staff, are truly proud of our team's performance today.

The level of play we sustained for the entire 90 minutes was truly excellent.

Exeter City fielded a strong lineup, with a few youngsters but they had a fair few established League One footballers.

While we faced challenges at times, our defensive resilience, compactness, and organization prevented them from getting a single shot on target against our goal."
