Arsenal’s under-23s roared from 3-2 behind to win 4-3 against Monaco to reach the next round of the Premier League International Cup.

The Gunners won a rollercoaster of a game by the odd goal thanks to two goals apiece for Zech Medley and Folarin Balogun.

Moussa Sylla, Owen Maes and a brace from Enzo Millot couldn’t prevent defeat for the French outfit.

Steve Bould’s men were largely impressive throughout and Balogun, in particular, looks like being a strong prospect.

The 18-year-old has been a real goal machine this season in the Premier League 2, netting 10 goals and registering four assists.

He was on the bench for a 5-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup earlier this season but didn’t get on the pitch.

The teenager looks set for a bright future and it remains to be seen whether he is currently catching Mikel Arteta’s eye with his prolific performances.

He followed up two goals in a 4-2 defeat to Manchester City with another brace last night and he clearly knows where the net is.

Arsenal fans took to Twitter last night to rave about his performance and here is a selection of the best tweets from the Gunners faithful.
