Our under-18s beat Southampton 3-2 in a high quality game at the Sobha Realty Training Centre on Saturday.
Ceadach O'Neill gave us the lead with his second goal in as many games this season, before Harry Gathercole rounded off a smart set piece routine to draw the Saints level.
We made a fast start to the second half and restored our lead, O'Neill on the scoresheet yet again, before Maalik Hashi fired a wonderful free-kick into the top corner for his second goal of the season.
Southampton salvaged a lifeline with a few minutes to play through a Gathercole penalty, but we held on to make it two wins from two to start our U18s Premier League South campaign.
