Arsenal’s 3-1 win at Brentford on New Year’s Day saw a first Premier League start for 17-year-old attacking midfielder Ethan Nwaneri. The teenager has been touted as a future star at the Emirates Stadium and showed glimpses of exactly why at the G-tech Community Stadium.
Mikel Arteta is still trying to solve the selection issues he’s having on the right wing after Bukayo Saka picked up a long-term hamstring injury in the recent victory at Crystal Palace. The Spanish tactician opted to hand a full debut to Nwaneri on the right side of the Gunners’ frontline alongside Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli.
