David Ajiboye was on target as Brighton U18 beat Arsenal 2-1 in an U18 Premier League fixture on Monday.

Arsenal broke the deadlock 14 minutes into the second half when Joe Willock converted a penalty, but the visitors restored parity in the 84th minute after an own goal from Kostas Pileas.
The game was heading for a draw until David Ajiboye stepped up to net the winner in the 89th minute.
