"Mooney, who joined from St Mirren on Deadline Day in January, lobbed Reading goalkeeper Harrison Rhone from just inside his own half as Arsenal Under-21s cruised to a 4-1 win in Premier League 2. The 18-year-old intercepted a pass on the halfway line before spotting Rhone off his line and sending an incredible strike over his head to open the scoring for Max Porter's young Gunners."
"It was Mooney's first goal in an Arsenal shirt since signing for a fee reported to be around 400,000 plus add-ons. Mooney, who has already trained with the first team, played the full 90 minutes against Reading and was joined in the team by fellow Deadline Day signing Jaden Dixon."
Evan Mooney, an 18-year-old signed from St Mirren on Deadline Day in January for approximately 400,000 plus add-ons, scored his first goal for Arsenal in a Premier League 2 match against Reading. Mooney intercepted a pass at midfield and lobbed goalkeeper Harrison Rhone from inside his own half to open the scoring. Playing the full 90 minutes, Mooney was part of Arsenal Under-21s' dominant 4-1 victory. Fellow Deadline Day signing Jaden Dixon also featured in the match. Arsenal's young squad, captained by 16-year-old centre-back Marli Salmon, added three more goals through Andre Harriman-Annous, Ceadach O'Neill, and an own goal from Reading's captain Philip Duah.
