A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to comment on Omari Hutchinson after the Gunners’ under-23s faced Blackburn Rovers in Premier League 2 on Monday.

Kevin Betsy’s side edged a five-goal thriller against Rovers. They had taken a 2-0 lead into the break.

Hutchinson got the second goal after Mika Biereth had broken the deadlock shortly after the half-hour mark.

Blackburn would fight back after the interval however. But Arsenal would score the decisive goal late on. Folarin Balogun bagged the winner in the 89th minute to ensure another stunning result for the Gunners.

A number of players appeared to catch the eye of Arsenal fans on social media following the game.

Hutchinson was certainly one who received a lot of plaudits from the supporters. The 18-year-old found the top corner from 25 yards with an outstanding finish just before half-time.

It has been a fantastic start to the season for Hutchinson in Betsy’s ranks. His strike against Rovers was his fourth in just nine Premier League 2 appearances this term. He also has two assists.

With two in his last two, he appears to be hitting form at an opportune moment. Games are going to start coming thick and fast for Mikel Arteta and the first-team.
