Some Arsenal and Leeds United fans have responded to Eddie Nketiah’s post on Twitter following his heroics on Friday.

Arsenal striker Nketiah scored a hat-trick for the England Under-21 side against their Kosovo Under-21 counterparts on Friday.

The 21-year-old striker found the net in the 51st, 55th and 61st minute to help the Young Lions to a comfortable 6-0 win in the Euro-21 Qualifying Qualifying Group 3 game.

The former Leeds loanee scored his first goal with a header from Tom Davies’s cross, was set up by Todd Cantwell and Davies for his second, and found the net from the penalty spot for his third.

Nketiah joined Leeds on loan from Arsenal in the summer of 2019, but the striker was recalled by the Gunners midway through the 2019-20 season after struggling to get much playing time at Elland Road.

According to WhoScored, the 21-year-old striker made two starts and 16 substitute appearances in the Championship for Leeds during his loan spell, scoring three goals in the process.

The Englishman scored two goals in 13 Premier League matches and scored two goals in four FA Cup ties for the Gunners following his return, according to WhoScored.
