Arsenal wonderkid Chido Obi-Martin scores SEVEN in one game to break multiple records

Remember the name! Arsenal wonderkid Chido Obi-Martin scored a stunning SEVEN as the Gunners' Under-18s thrashed Norwich 9-0 on Saturday.

The 16-year-old is no stranger to big hauls, having caught the eye in November by scoring 10 goals in one game for the U16s in a 14-3 win over Liverpool.

Obi-Martin has had no trouble stepping up to the U18s and on Saturday had a hat-trick inside 17 minutes and five goals to his name at half-time.

The young Dane completed his double hat-trick on 54 minutes and added a staggering seventh strike 10 minutes later.

The Gunners have high hopes for the young Dane, who is now a regular for the U18s and has trained with the senior squad on occasion.

Obi-Martin has now bettered Ethan Nwaneri’s record of five goals scored in a single U18s game, and Folarin Balogun’s record for the most goals for the U18s season, which did sit at 25.

Obi-Martin, who has made two short cameos for the U21s this season, now has 27 goals in 15 league games for U18s.
