Arsenal forward Zak Ansah continued his superb form at under-16 level with a brace and an assist in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Charlton.
The tall frontman, who played for England U16s against Northern Ireland in the Victory Shield on Thursday, opened the scoring with a cool finish for his seventeenth goal of the season. He then set up Samir Bihmoutine for what proved to be the winner in an entertaining contest.
The victory saw Arsenal bounce back from last week’s 7-3 reverse at the hands of West Ham, during which Callum Webb shone in adversity. The midfielder impressed again yesterday with his combative approach, whilst Bihmoutine provided a useful outlet on the left-flank. Up front, Nigel Neita is struggling to match Ansah’s rich vein of form but has already scored for the under-18s this season and will surely get more appearances for Steve Bould’s side this term.
