Arsenal reach Premier League Cup quarter-finals

Arsenal Under-18s secured a place in the Under-18 Premier League Cup quarter-finals following a 3-0 victory over Sunderland on Saturday. The young Gunners required a win in their final group match to advance as group winners, while any other outcome would have eliminated them in favor of Sunderland.

After a scoreless first half, Mylo Bernard gave Arsenal the lead with a near-post strike. Sunderland defender Matthew Burns was later sent off after conceding a penalty, which Emerson Nwaneri converted, before substitute Callan Hamill headed in a late third goal from Gabriel Arteta's corner to seal the win.
