Business resumed as usual for Arsenal yesterday as they returned to the winning ways in which they have become so familiar with this season. Despite being tasked with a tough away trip to Brentford, the Gunners came out 3-0 winners in comfortable and convincing fashion during what was a very special day for Ethan Nwaneri, in particular.
The 15-year-old became the youngest player in Premier League history when he came on as a substitute in the dying moments of the match. His introduction from the bench saw him overtake Liverpool's Harvey Elliott, who previously held the record at 16 years and 30 days when he played for Fulham back in 2019.
Nwaneri's Arsenal cameo is the latest reminder of not only the club's commitment to providing opportunities to some of the most promising young talents coming through the ranks of the Hale End academy but the immense quality that so many of them possess in the very early stages of their career.
