After Mohamed Elneny let rip and scored a phenomenal goal against Dundalk last night, one Arsenal player reacted brilliantly.
Just as the net begins to ripple from the Egyptian’s long-range scorcher, Nicolas Pepe can be seen putting his hands on his head in disbelief.
In truth, even a tap-in from Elneny might’ve prompted the same shocked reaction, as it’s a rarity to see him score – it was only his third goal for Arsenal in 102 appearances!
You can see the £100,000-a-week forward’s reaction shortly after the 42-second mark of the clip, posted by BT Sport‘s official Twitter account.
Where Pepe is initially in shock, two more Arsenal stars in Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Eddie Nketiah are ecstatic for their goal-shy teammate.
The end of BT Sports‘ footage shows the Hale End academy products running over to the former FC Basel midfielder to celebrate with him.
Maitland-Niles in particular seems just as happy as Elneny, running to hug the Egyptian with a huge smile on his face.
An opener from Nketiah before Elneny’s strike, and further goals from Joe Willock and Folarin Balogun saw Arsenal record an emphatic 4-2 win.
The victory means that Mikel Arteta oversaw six wins from six in Group B, where his side scored 20 goals and conceded just five.
