Arsenal's teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri stole the spotlight with a stunning goal reminiscent of Lionel Messi during the Gunners' 3-0 win over Preston in the Carabao Cup, propelling them into the quarter-finals.
Match Highlights
Nwaneri, who has been making waves with his performances, scored Arsenal's second goal with an impressive left-footed strike from 20 yards, curling the ball into the top corner and leaving Preston's goalkeeper Freddie Woodman helpless. The 17-year-old’s skill didn’t stop there; he also rattled the crossbar later in the match, showcasing his continuous threat on the pitch.
Goal Stats
This remarkable goal marked Nwaneri's third in the Carabao Cup this season, having netted twice in the previous round against Bolton. His goal was preceded by Gabriel Jesus's opener and followed by Kai Havertz's header in the second half, contributing to a commanding team performance.
Future Prospects
Following this standout display, Nwaneri will be eager for more playing time under manager Mikel Arteta. With only 23 minutes of Premier League action so far this season, his performance against Preston may have convinced Arteta to give him a chance during Arsenal's upcoming trip to Newcastle. As Nwaneri continues to shine, he is firmly on the radar for a more significant role in the first team.
