Arsenal U18 coach Jack Wilshere was delighted with Chido Obi-Martin's performance in victory over Crystal Palace.

Obi-Martin scored four goals in Saturday's 8-3 win.

Wilshere later told arsenal.com: "Individually and collectively you have to have personality. Chido for example, scoring four goals, you have to have personality to keep creating chances and drive that throughout the team and then manage transitions by winning duels and coaching each other. I saw a lot of personality out there today which makes me happy.

I'm proud of the team because, for a striker to score four, he needs his teammates, his midfielders and defenders, but it's the hardest thing in football and to do it four times as an under-16 in under-18s football takes some real personality.

Not just that side of his game, his link-up play, the way he pressed and set the tempo for us, he's developing nicely. There are still things to do and get better at but I'm happy with where he's at at the moment."
