Scoring the winning goal in the dying minutes at your stadium is a dream home debut for any football player, but only a few get to live it. Eddie Nketiah is one of them.

The young forward came on in the 85th minute and scored a brace against Norwich City in the Carabao Cup which made him an instant hit amongst the Arsenal fans. Since then, the young English striker has made only a few first-team appearances but has managed to impress everyone with his good form with the U-23 side. During the 2018/19 Premier League 2 campaign, Nketiah scored 9 times while assisting on 4 occasions in just ten games.

He ended his season on a high after grabbing his first Premier League goal against Burnley.

With the Gunners’ attacking duo of Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubamayeng in fine form, Nketiah may not be a regular starter. Nevertheless, the departure of Danny Welbeck has opened up the possibility of him impacting games from the bench.
