Nigerian Player, Scorers for Arsenal in a 3-2 loss to Blackburn Rovers

Nigerian winger Nathan Butler-Oyedeji scored on Saturday for Arsenal in a 3-2 loss to Blackburn Rovers in a Premier League U18 Cup game.

Mazeed Ogungbo scored the first goal for Arsenal after 21 minutes, but goals from Horlock, Lonsdale and Zimba gave Blackburn Rovers a 3-1 lead.

Butler-Oyedeji however took a goal away from the young Gunners in the first minute of the second half's detention period.

Butler-Oyedeji, who has been impressive for Arsenal so far this season, has played ten games with the club.

The young man scored his first goal for the club last weekend in a 2-2 draw against North London rival Tottenham Hotspur.

He hopes to lead Arsenal to victory when he faces Chelsea in November in his next Premier League U-18 Cup game.
