West Ham United U18s celebrate winning the FA Youth Cup

Highlights | FA Youth Cup final: Arsenal 1-5 U18s

West Ham United U18s have won the 2022/23 FA Youth Cup!

The young Irons last won the FA Youth Cup in 1999 and beat Arsenal 5-1 on Tuesday evening to lift the trophy for a fourth time in the Club's history.

After Omari Benjamin followed in a well-saved effort to curl in from the edge of the box on seven minutes, West Ham responded impeccably. 

First, George Earthy lashed in a superb effort from 20 yards to level the tie, before Gideon Kodua crossed in for Callum Marshall to steer home from close range to give the Irons the advantage.

Just minutes before half-time captain Kodua scored a goal-of-the-season contender to extend West Ham's advantage, stealing possession from the Arsenal defence and lobbing goalkeeper Noah Cooper from 40 yards.

The Hammers continued to fight valiantly in the second half and scored a deserved fourth 12 minutes from time, as Kaelan Casey rose highest to head home from Ollie Scarles' corner.

Josh Briggs scored with his first touch after coming on to add West Ham's fifth, wrapping up a historic victory and sending the trophy back to east London.
