Arsenal are now second in the Premier League.
In a thrilling display of resilience and youthful talent, Arsenal secured a 3-1 victory over Brentford on Wednesday, narrowing the gap to league leaders Liverpool. The match underscored the Gunners’ strength in depth and marked a defining moment for Ethan Nwaneri, the 17-year-old who stepped up to fill the void left by the injured Bukayo Saka.
Nwaneri, making his first Premier League start, was deployed on the right wing at the stadium where he etched his name in history books by becoming the league’s youngest-ever debutant at just 15.
Two years on, the Hale End graduate once again showcased why he is regarded as one of Arsenal’s brightest prospects.
His performance caught the eye of fans and pundits alike, with TNT Sports analyst Karen Carney leading the chorus of praise.
