Nigerian-born Arsenal starlet, Chuba Akpom continued to prove himself as an invaluable asset to the Gunners with a goal in Tuesday's 4-4 draw against League one club, Leyton Orient.
.
Akpom impressed in the thoroughly entertaining friendly game at the Matchroom stadium as he scored in the 53rd minute to help the London club claw back a two goal deficit to claim a share of the spoils.
.
Tuesday's game was the first game for Arsenal since their return from pre season in Asia.
.
Akpom's goal was a typically predatory finish as he latched on to a pass in the 53rd minute before sliding past the Orient keeper, Jamie Jones.
.
The 17-year-old also had a hand in the second goal scored by Arsenal as his audacious interception and nifty pass freed Wellington Silva in the 51st minute.
.
The attacker, who was substituted after 76 minutes subsequently took to Twitter after the game to discuss his performance against the side campaigning in the third tier of English football.
.
"Drew 4-4 with Leyton Orient first team, was a great game, scored 1 , hungry as ever," he tweeted via @cakpom9 to his 41,812 followers.
.
Meanwhile, another Nigerian-born youngster on the books of Arsenal, Chuks Aneke also played in the game against Leyton Orient.
.
Aneke was arguably Arsenal's best performer on the night as he put in a composed and consistent display throughout.
.
His ingenious reverse pass in the 34th minute put Eisfeld clean through but the forward dragged his effort wide.
.
Aneke who has been linked with a move to Crewe Alexandra in recent days also provided the assist for Akpom's goal in the 53rd minute.
.
Both players who have represented England at youth level and are still eligible to play for Nigeria at senior level will be keen to play a part in Wenger's plans for the 2013/14 season.
To score a goal is a very good one and it inspires u to be more magnificent in subsequent games. Gunners hasve to improve though.....
