Arsenal reserves are top of the Premier Reserve League South after a 2-0 win over Chelsea on Monday night.

Goals from Craig Eastmond and Carling Cup hero Sanchez Watt maintained the Gunners' 100 per cent winning start to the season and afterwards manager Neil Banfield was delighted.

"It's great to be top of the league and to have the performances but we're looking at the player development," he said.

"I think there are some really interesting young players developing at this club. As I've always said, the club, from the manager down, is looking very, very strong."
