Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has answered the calls of Gunners icon Ian Wright, who claimed earlier this month that he has to become more of a goal threat. The England youth international scored an all-important brace against London rivals Chelsea on Wednesday night to claim all three points.
The 22-year-old scored the opener in the first-half, with Emile Smith Rowe also finding the net. The Blues did peg the Gunners back twice though, with Timo Werner and Cesar Azpilicueta also firing home.
Nketiah scored again in the second half, before Bukayo Saka ’s late penalty sealed all three points. Mikel Arteta was full of praise for Nketiah after the game, saying: “If there is one player that I have been unfair with I think it’s him [Nketiah].
