By netting The Blues equalizer in the 14th minute, Faustino Anjorin extended his goalscoring streak to seven games in all competitions.

Since then, he has found the net against Brighton U18, West Ham U18, Molde U19, Brighton U23, Plymouth Argyle and Arsenal U23.
James Olayinka played the last two minutes for Arsenal U23, teammates goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo and Tolaji Bola were non-playing substitutes.
