West Ham United’s under-18s have moved ten points clear at the top of the Premier League South table after a 4-1 victory over Arsenal on Saturday.
The Hammers, who now have eight wins from eight in their league campaign this season, continued their stunning start to the season on Saturday morning, taking a 3-0 lead before half-time.
Striker Divin Mubama continued his recent form this month having made his debut for the first-team at the start of November, scoring the Hammers’ first and third goal either side of George Earthy’s second at the break. For Mubama, those were his sixth and seventh goals in just five appearances for the club's youth sides since making his senior debut against FCSB.
