Our men's under-18s scored two stunners in a 4-0 rout of Reading in Premier League South on Saturday.

Tate Ferdinand opened the scoring as he was first to a loose ball in the box from an Albion corner, lashing in from close range.

Albion had their second midway through the second half when Henry Kasvosve played a one-two with Younes Ibrahim and rolled the ball into the bottom left corner from ten yards, before Bode Newnham Reeve scored a remarkable header in the 88th minute.

Zach Brennan found the head of the midfielder with a free-kick on the halfway-line, which Newnham Reeve met 20-yards from the Reading goal and looped in over keeper Tobias Borgnis.

The visitors had their fourth in the last minute of normal time thanks to a beautiful lob from Brennan. Spotting Borgnis off his line, the Albion man found the back of the net from 25-yards.

Under-18s head coach Bjorn Hamberg said, “It’s a great feeling to get back-to-back wins and a second clean sheet of the season.

“The players not representing their countries during the international break have put a lot of effort into training to reach the level of intensity we need to progress as a team.

“It was a good team effort offensively and defensively, and overall a good day for us against Reading.”
