Mikel Arteta made headlines this weekend by handing 15-year-old Arsenal prospect Ethan Nwaneri his Premier League debut.
But former Liverpool man Danny Murphy has hit out at Arteta's decision to thrust the youngster into the spotlight at such a tender age and accused the Spaniard of mismanaging the talented teenager.
Nwaneri was named in the Arsenal squad that were hoping to bounce back against Brentford at the weekend after falling to their first league defeat of the season against Manchester United a fortnight ago. The Gunners responded in style with a 3-0 win to reclaim the top spot ahead of Manchester City. Goals from William Saliba, Gabriel Jesus and Fabio Vieira were enough to clinch the points - but it was Nwaneri's late introduction that really caught the eye.
