A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to praise Gunners academy striker Amani Richards for his latest Under-18s masterclass.

The 16-year-old delivered a man-of-the-match display for Arsenal’s U18s in Saturday’s 5-2 triumph over Aston Villa in the U18 Premier League.

Richards only joined the Gunners academy in February this year but the former Chelsea man is quickly making a name for himself at Hale End.

He has scored in each of his three starts for the Gunners in the U18 Premier League, helping his new side to a 1-1 draw with Leicester and a 6-1 thrashing of Reading prior to Saturday.

Richards not only netted against the Villans but also won two penalties for his teammates after causing havoc in the opposition box and drawing fouls.

Needless to say, his display wowed plenty of Arsenal fans, who took to social media to praise the striking sensation:

Arsenal U18s’ final game of the season takes place next Wednesday, the young Gunners taking on their Chelsea counterparts in an 11am kickoff.
