Arsenal teenagers teach Blackburn a lesson.

Blackburn 2 Arsenal 3 

What an absolute masterclass from Arsene Wengers teenage second team, giving Blackburn a real lesson in resolute defending and slick silky passing. They huffed and they puffed but they couldn't batter Arsenal into defeat, such was the grit and determination shown by this wonderful group youth players.

To do them all justice, here are our player ratings for the game:

Fabianski - 10 some truly fantastic saves

Senderos - 10 bossed the defence superbly

Hoyte - 10 so strong and fast

Traore - 10 so strong in the tackle

Song - 11 Man of the Match - unbeatable

Diarra - 10 absolute pain in Blackburns side

Randall - 11 a legend in the making

Diaby - 10 ready for the first team, superb

Denilson - 10 the complete footballer, perfect

Eduardo - 10 the perfect fox in the box

Bentner - 10 the second Man of the Match

Remember all these names, as we will be watching them week in week out in the not to distant future, so much talent and class.
