West Ham Under-18s secure first Premier League South title after Arsenal result

West Ham United Under-18s clinched the Premier League South title on Saturday afternoon.

The young Hammers needed a point or for Fulham to drop points to secure the division, and did so thanks to a 2-0 win over Arsenal.

England Under-16s star Divine Mukasa came off the bench to open the scoring with just over 20 minutes remaining and captain Gideon Kodua capped off the afternoon with a finish of his own.

The league win means the east London outfit will take on one of Southampton or Man City, winners of the Premier League North, for a place in next season's UEFA Champions Youth League.
