Having earned a place on Arsène Wenger's first-team
bench for Tuesday's Carling Cup win, striker Jay Simpson
returned to the Under-18s on Friday, with a hat-trick.
Marc Elston opened the scoring on five minutes before Simpson
struck twice to give Steve Bould's side a comfortable 3-0 lead
at the break. The visitors hit back with three second-half goals of
their own but Simpson grabbed the winner with 10 minutes
remaining.
The victory means the Arsenal youngsters are still unbeaten this
season, a run that stretches to 10 games.
