Arsenal won the Durban Under-19 International Tournament in dramatic circumstances on Saturday as Yassin Fortune struck a 90th-minute winner against PSV Eindhoven.
In a hard-fought final, the Gunners had an early chance to take the lead but Gedion Zelalem saw his penalty saved.
Steve Gatting’s side continued to press for the opener and were rewarded when Ben Sheaf struck his third goal of the tournament to put them ahead at the break.
PSV came back at them after the interval and restored parity in the 65th minute when Dante scored.
As the game entered injury time, Fortune - a summer signing from Lens - dribbled into the box and calmly slotted into the far corner to seal a famous victory for the club's young stars.
