Arsenal youngster brands Tottenham 'bottlejobs' after last-gasp goal

Arsenal Under-18s star Harry Clarke called Tottenham's youth stars 'bottlejobs' after they surrendered a two-goal lead to lose Tuesday afternoon's Under-18s Premier League clash at London Colney.

The Spurs youngsters - who went into the match in second place in the table, one point behind their North London rivals - led the match 2-0 in the 85th minute following first half goals from Paris Maghoma and Harvey White, the latter a penalty.

But after Tottenham's Luis Binks was sent off before half-time Arsenal came storming back late on in the match, scoring three goals in the final five minutes to dramatically win 3-2 and go four points clear at the top of the table.
