Arsenal Under 23 have somehow started their season worse than the senior side, by going down by a 6-1 scoreline to West Ham Under-23.
The Gunners side did consist of highly-rated future stars Miguel Azeez, Charlie Patino and Omar Rekik, while they came up against three senior players in Masuaku, Lanzini and Yarmolenko, who are most likely in need of minutes to get their match sharpness up.
Armstrong Okoflex will have picked up the Man of the Match award, a former Arsenal youngster who left to join Celtic, before returning to London with the Hammers this summer, and he picked up a hat-trick on his debut for the West Ham U23 side.

If you can’t be asked to watch the entire match, our consolation penalty-goal comes after the 90th minute, but if you skip to 1 hour and 59 minutes into the video, you can see the highlights from the 90 minutes.

Nothing is exciting about my arsenal anymore..so sad how on earth did we get to this point🤦🏾jeez
How can a 6-1 defeat be a 7 goal loss?
Anyway the result doesn’t bode well!
Don’t be concerned Declan- I’m sure it is all part of the process
Funny how losing 6-1 isnt bad enough for you, you have to lable it a 7 goal loss. Which it isnt of course, but even negative results arent enough apparently
Watched the goals. Truly attrocious defending. 4 goals given away losing possession at the back. Like the first team but in slo-mo. Training them to play out the Arsenal way! Rekik was frighteningly awful btw. This guy should NEVER get near the first team.
