Video: Alfie Devine scores fantastic goal against Arsenal after run from his own half

Tottenham Hotspur starlet, Alfie Devine scored a fantastic goal for the U23 side this week in a 2-1 defeat to North London rivals Arsenal.

The 17-year-old picked up the ball in his own half before driving at the heart of the Gunners defence. When the Arsenal players failed to close him down, he simply kept going and swept home a neat finish.

That was Devine’s thirteenth goal involvement of the season in the youth teams and he seems to be making fantastic progress at the North London academy (TransferMarkt).

Check out the goal below:

Spurs Web Opinion:

If Tottenham can’t start filtering Scarlett and Devine into the regular first-team then they are doing something very wrong. These starlets are ready to start getting some minutes on the pitch, but that involves the senior players winning games too.
