Eddie Nketiah's final rehearsal for his two-to-three-month run as Arsenal's leading man ended flatly as the striker missed a golden opportunity.
All eyes will be on the 23-year-old in the coming weeks as he stands in for the injured Gabriel Jesus. And the big question is whether he can score the goals that will help keep the Gunners on top of the Premier League. He had done all right in Arsenal ’s previous two friendlies, scoring in the wins against Lyon and AC Milan in Dubai.
But in front of 32,000-odd Gooners back on home soil, he fluffed his lines with a dreadful miss, hitting the post after Juventus starlet Fabio Miretti’s appalling back pass presented him with a chance which looked far easier to score than miss.
