Arsenal starlet, Folarin Balogun, gave another timely reminder of his talent last night with a devastating hat-trick for the Arsenal under-23s against Brighton.

Balogun got himself off the mark after just ten minutes before adding another just before half-time to put the game well out of the reach of the visitors.

A quieter second-half followed, but Balogun ensured he got his third of the night just before the end as he completed a fine hat-trick to further enhance his reputation in north London.

The young striker took to Instagram following the game to show his delight at the result and personal performance too.

Such is the way in modern football now, a host of his teammates and current Gunners stars, including Technical Director Edu Gaspar, all were quick to praise Balogun in the comments.

Interestingly, Edu has since deleted his comment but he was there to suggest Balogun is going to the top with his reply.

Here, then, is a look at just what some of the Arsenal boys had to say as Balogun celebrated his Friday evening goal haul.
