Four for Griffiths as Tottenham youngsters score nine against Arsenal

Reo Griffiths scored four second-half goals as Tottenham’s youngsters demolished Arsenal 9-0 in the Under-18 Premier League.

Rodel Richards and Dilan Markanday each scored twice in a one-sided game at Hotspur Way, where the hosts led 3-0 at half-time after scoring three goals in the space of six minutes, with Richards bagging a brace before Markanday made it 3-0.

Griffiths set up Markanday’s first goal and the first for Richards, whose second came after the visitors were unable to clear Jamie Bowden’s corner.

Griffiths got his first and Spurs’ fourth soon after the interval and then set up Markanday again for the fifth.

Griffiths made it 6-0, completed his hat-trick following an own goal by Maceed Ogungbo, and then scored his fourth with a couple of minutes remaining to complete the rout.
