Chris Sutton has admitted "I got it wrong" after questioning whether Eddie Nketiah could deputise for injured Arsenal striker Gabriel Jesus.
Nketiah, 23, scored twice, including a last-minute winner, to help Arsenal defeat Manchester United on Sunday. The result has given Mikel Arteta's side a five-point lead at the top of the Premier League table, with a game in hand on reigning champions Manchester City in second.
Some outside of the Emirates urged Arteta to sign a new striker after Brazil international Jesus, 25, suffered a knee injury in December, with plenty questioning whether Nketiah could step up to the plate in Jesus' absence. Yet the Englishman has proved his critics wrong, scoring four goals in his last five Premier League outings, leading the line with aplomb as the Gunners continue to push on in their title bid.
