Six missed chances, and an outfield goalkeeper cost Tottenham under-18s dear in wild Arsenal derby

Tottenham Hotspur Under-18s suffered a 2-1 defeat against Arsenal at London Colney on Saturday afternoon, ending their unbeaten league run. Despite creating numerous opportunities throughout the match, Tottenham failed to capitalize on their chances. Joel Vidal Philbert gave Tottenham the lead five minutes into the second half, but Arsenal responded almost immediately through Mylo Bernard.

Late chaos saw Arsenal goalkeepers Jack Talbot and Max Lo Presti both forced off with injuries, requiring winger Emerson Nwaneri to step in as an outfield goalkeeper for the final ten minutes. Bernard struck a second goal to seal Arsenal's victory. Tottenham Under-18s coach Jamie Carr lamented his side's wasteful finishing and poor defensive execution.
