Arsenal youngster smashes 7 goals in one game, beats Folarin Balogun's record

Chido Obi-Martin, 16, is making big waves with a sensational campaign for the Arsenal Academy.

Arsenal pulled off an incredible 9-0 thrashing of Norwich City; believe it or not, Obi-Martin scored seven of those goals!

He completed a stunning double hat-trick, scoring his first three goals within 17 minutes.

At half-time, he had five goals to his name but fought hard to add two more in the second half.

Football London understands Obi-Martin smashed in 10 goals as the young lads pulled off an epic 14-3 win over Liverpool in November. He was only 15 at the time.

The teenager already hit 21 goals before the Norwich thriller; he now has 28 goals in 16 games for the U18 side. In doing so, he's beaten the previous Academy scoring record held by Folarin Balogun (25 goals).

Interestingly, Obi-Martin is yet to sign a scholarship or a professional contract with Arsenal.
