West Ham’s U18s continue flying start to the season as Divin Mubama stars against Arsenal

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.

Having come on at half-time, Favour Fawumni added a fourth in stoppage time, restoring their three goal advantage after Mathaeus Roberts had got a goal back for the Gunners with 15 minutes remaining at Arsenal’s training ground.

West Ham now sit ten points clear at the top of the Premier League Southern table and with a game in hand over second-placed side Fulham, who recorded a 7-1 win over Chelsea on Saturday.

It is a quick return to action for the Hammers, who take on fourth-placed side Fulham on Tuesday.
