A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to praise Marcelo Flores for his latest display for the Gunners Under-18s.

The 17-year-old attacking midfielder joined Arsenal’s academy from Ipswich in March 2019 and has been making a name for himself at Hale End.

Flores has made 12 Under-18 Premier League appearances this season, registering four goals and one assist.

His latest goal came on Tuesday afternoon as Arsenal’s U18s came from behind to register a 2-1 win over their Chelsea counterparts at London Colney.

Jude Soonsup-Bell opened the scoring for the Blues in the 16th minute, heading home from Charlie Webster’s corner.

However, Flores equalised just five minutes later, a neat one-two with Khayon Edwards giving the No. 10 space needed to rifle the ball into the top corner from distance.

Early in the second half, a much-improved Arsenal got the job done as Mazeed Ogungbo bore down on goal to slot home from Jack Francis’ through-ball.

Flores is highly rated at Hale End and some Gunners fans were pleased to see him deliver another great display:
