Watch as Arsenal wonderkid Miguel Azeez scores 95th minute stunner to rescue England U18s draw

There are plenty of Arsenal players out on international duty this week.

But two of those who have probably flown under the radar as far as Arsenal supporters are concerned have enjoyed a better time of it than the rest.

Reiss Nelson scored for England U21s on Friday night, while Granit Xhaka, Sead Kolasinac, Lucas Torreira and Nicolas Pepe were all in action too, with Emiliano Martinez and Bernd Leno unused substitutes for their countries.

But two of Arsenal's even younger stars were making their mark on the international stage.

Miguel Azeez and Sam Greenwood were both in action for England U18s and they played an integral part in a barnstomer of a clash against Norway in Pinatar Spain.

The Young Lions had to come from 2-0 and 3-1 down against the Scandinavians, with Greenwood coming off the bench to make it 3-3 from the penalty spot in the final ten minutes.

Norway went back in front with five minutes to go and it looked as it a thrilling encounter would end 4-3.

However, Arsenal starlet Azeez had other ideas.

With 94 minutes on the clock, the exciting central midfielder took aim from fully 25 yards and fired a stunning strike past the Norwegian keeper to secure a dramatic draw.

Azeez is a prototypical Arsenal prospect, a central midfielder with designs to push the play forward, immaculate technique and even an eye for goal, as he demonstrated with a fine curling effort to open his Gunners account in a 3-1 win over Brighton and Hove Albion in January.
