Arsenal teenager Omari Hutchinson made his mark for the under-23s last night with a devastating display to help sweep Crystal Palace aside.

The 17-year-old will be featuring for the 23s this year after already impressing at younger levels in the Arsenal academy. And he did his chances of catching the eye no harm whatsoever last night, with two goals in a 4-2 win over Palace.

Hutchinson’s first goal was the stuff of dreams, too. Doing the rounds on Twitter, it showed the teenage sensation dribbling the ball the full half of a pitch before smashing home in style to put the Gunners 1-0 up.

Naturally, the goal and performance on the whole of Hutchinson caught the eye of a number of Arsenal fans online.

And while some see Hutchinson for simply being a young talent in the game, there were already some calls to see him given a first-team berth sooner, rather than later.

Here, then, is a look at what some Arsenal fans had to say about Omari Hutchinson’s brilliant display last night.

Hutchinson is bit like esr imo
His best position can be attacking 8 or as wide playmaker
