Arsenal Under-18s continued their fine opening to 2012 with a closely-fought 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at London Colney on Saturday morning.
Josh Rees grabbed the only goal of the game in the 10th minute - his second strike in as many games for Steve Bould's youngsters.
The result leaves Arsenal second in the table, a point behind leaders Fulham. The young Gunners will claim top spot next weekend if they can overcome the Cottagers' academy hopefuls.
