West Ham United U18 coach Tony Carr was delighted with his defence as they kept Arsenal's new signing Luke Freeman quiet in their 2-0 victory last week.

Goals from Daniel Kearns and Freddie Sears secured the points for the Hammers and Carr told whufc.com: "Two-nil up can be a dangerous scoreline because a goal the other way can turn the game in a minute. We were determined not to let that happen this week and so it proved. Bondz N'Gala and Josh Payne kept Freeman very quiet. He had a decent game but we limited his attempts on goal to shots from distance."

It was N'Gala's first appearance since returning to West Ham after a loan period at Weymouth.
