ARSENAL Under-19s faced a fierce atmosphere as they took on Slavia Prague in the Uefa Youth League.

Academy football rarely draws a crowd, let alone a raucous one, but that was not the case for the Young Guns in the Czech Republic.

Slavia Prague ultras turned up at the Sports Centre Radotin to support their youth players ahead of the first team’s clash later this evening.

The ultra group, known as Tribuna Sever, took up a sizable chunk of the 1,500 seats inside the ground, creating a noisy atmosphere for Arsenal’s youngsters to handle.

Fans chanted throughout the game, while drummers kept the atmosphere bouncing until the final whistle.

Some supporters even appeared to let off smoke flares during the second half.

Slavia fans are no strangers to the youth team and regularly show up for their European home games.

And their unwavering support paid off when Slavia netted an injury time winner to continue their flawless start to the Youth League with a 1-0 win.

Miguel Solarte tucked home a 91st-minute goal to earn Slavia all three points and send the home fans into a frenzy.

Arsenal had impressed with a professional performance despite the noise up until that point, grinding on foreign soil, but were undone in the dying embers.

Slavia remain unbeaten in this season’s Youth League, having already beaten Fenerbahce, Sabah and Lens.

Arsenal, meanwhile, haven’t won since their opening game against Napoli last month – losing to Lille and drawing with Bayern Munich since.
