In Saturday's Championship, Barlogon and Ballard played head-to-head on behalf of their respective clubs.
Barogon is struggling to get into the Midburg start, while Millwall Ballard, on loan, has just recently returned from injury, with the two Arsenal youngsters meeting in Saturday's game.
As the game entered the 16th minute, Ballard received a yellow card for a ferocious foul on arsenal teammates.
Balogon then fell to the ground after confronting North London in the penalty area, but the referee did not award a penalty.
The match ended 0-0, with Ballard helping his team keep a clean sheet. But Miburg boss Wilder thinks Barlogon is doing well.
Unlike Ballard, who has been on loan for the third time, this is Barogon's first loan trip to the senior team.
The rhythm and physical intensity of the Championship matches are unmatched by the youth team.
Arsenal loanee Norton Coofi faced the first setback of his adult career, receiving a red card for Saturday's match.
Norton Cooper has an ideal start in Lincoln City. He quickly entered the team's starting line-up, won the love of the fans and even scored his first goal since loan last week.
But careers inevitably had ups and downs, and Norton Coofi had to deal with the first red card of the adult team.
Lincoln City was leading 1-0 and Coofi had the upper hand in a scramble with Wimbledon right-back Lee Brown to kick the ball out of bounds.
Out of exasperation (or perhaps to provoke his opponents), Brown tried to trip UpUffe and tugged at his jersey.
Arsenal's youngster pushed each other with both hands, and the heads of the two were together.
The referee showed Coofi a red card, but only gave Brown a yellow card. The good news was that Lincoln City eventually won the game 2-0.
The bad side is that this red card means three suspensions. If the red card is not revoked, he will have to wait until April to get a chance to play.
If you count the youth team game, this is Coofi's third red card of the season, but this time the situation is more serious.
The right-back was sent off for his first goal when he played for Arsenal U23, turning two yellows into one red in the 96th minute for England's U18.
Overall, the 18-year-old has no disciplinary problems. But learning how to handle situations like this is a crucial step in a player's growth.
I hope that Coofi can learn from the experience and lessons and do better in the future.
