[8] His second appearance also came as a substitute, for Mark Randall in Arsenal's League Cup quarter-final against Blackburn Rovers on 18 December 2007, but after only 17 minutes on the pitch he was stretchered off with a dislocated shoulder, and replaced by Fran Mérida. [9]

Barazite returned to reserve-team action after his injury, and scored his first hat trick for Arsenal in the under-18s, in a 5–2 win over Southampton. The other two were scored by Luke Freeman. Barazite was also named on the Arsenal bench for the final Premier League game against Sunderland on 11 May 2008, but was not brought on.

He was instrumental in the 2–1 win and set up the winner late in the game. On 29 December 2008, it was confirmed that his loan spell at Derby County was to be extended until the end of the 2008–09 season.
