Arsenal Defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-0 in League Cup

A second string Arsenal side pulled off a 2-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion in the third round of League Cup 2009-10. Arsene Wenger featured 8 teenagers in the game resting more than half of the regular players for the game. Well, if you are an Arsenal fan, I believe you don’t need to be surprised by this move of Wenger because the Gunner boss always feature young players in the league cup and FA cup matches.

Arsenal had to wait 68 minutes for the opening goal which came through Sanchez Watt. West Brom keeper blocked the Carlos Vela’s shot and it fell to Watt and the young striker did not make any mistake to slot it into the post. Vela doubled the Arsenal lead when he got the ball after Mark Randall’s shot made the wookwork.

Arsenal’s performance was really very impressive and it is an evident of the progress of Wenger’s young boys.
