Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah scored again last night.
Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah scored a hat-trick as the Gunners’ under-23 side defeated Everton 4-0.
His treble followed Aaron Ramsey’s for the first team against Everton in the Premier League days earlier.
David Unsworth’s Everton under-23s won the title last season in their age group but last night they were no match for Arsenal.
Marshalled in defence by January signing Konstantinos Mavropanos, Nketiah was clinical in attack, scoring a hat-trick which is at this point becoming a routine for him.
The 18-year-old is a hugely exciting talent who scored twice after coming off the bench against Norwich City in the Carabao Cup earlier this season, which helped the Gunners reach this year’s final.
He has now scored nine goals in 11 under-23 games this season, having scored a brace against Manchester United in his last outing.
His first team chances will be hampered by Arsenal signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in the transfer window, but Nketiah has time on his side.
Fans are hoping he will get more first team chances, and there is not much more he can do at under-23 level at this point.
Here is a look at how Arsenal fans reacted on Twitter to his performance…
