Katie Reid has been a regular feature on Jonas Eidevall’s first-team substitution squad but has yet to make her Arsenal first-team debut. As well as Katie’s goal against Spain, fellow Arsenal Academy youngster Michelle Agyemang scored 2 brace’s in the competition, with 2 goals against Poland as well as 2 goals against Sweden.
The Young Lionesses, which included 5 young Gunners from Arsenal’s Academy, should be immensely proud of themselves with the results they achieved through the competition.
The U17 Women’s European Champions Final will take place on Friday 26th May, kick-off: 18:00, with Spain v France.
COYGW!!
