It has been an eventful day for Arsenal’s youngsters, and we will start with the loanees news. Jay Simpson ended his spell at Millwall yesterday with a defeat to Swindon and Carlos Vela is in action for Osasuna later tonight as they take on Real Madrid. Today, Mark Randall played 45 minutes as Burnley were thrashed 5-0 by Crystal Palace in the Championship. Mark will return to Arsenal tomorrow.

In other news, Kieran Gibbs, who recently returned from a loan spell at Norwich was an unused substitute as Arsenal beat Everton 1-0 at Emirates Stadium today. I went to the game and I must say, Armand Traore was fantastic and set up Bendtner for the goal.

In the opening day of the UEFA u-17 European Championships, Gilles Sunu played 58 minutes for France as they beat Ireland 2-1. He had one shot saved shortly before he was substituted but other than that was virtually non existent. Oghuzan Ozaykup is on the bench for the Netherlands against the hosts Turkey. That game has just kicked off.
