Arsenal’s hat trick Eddie Nketiah shines vs. Blades

Eddie Nketiah scored his first-ever Arsenal hattrick in the 5-0 rout over Sheffield United.

Arsenal blew Sheffield United off the pitch in a 5-0 rout at the Emirates, and Eddie Nketiah had a big role in it.

Coming in for the injured Gabriel Jesus, Nketiah, who has had his fair share of criticism over the course of his career, is now slowly starting to show his talent.

His three goals against the Blades had a mixture of everything; a typical “Eddie” poachers goal, a Dennis Bergkamp-like turn and shot, and then a thunderbolt from outside the box.

Nketiah, not known for his ability to strike a ball from distance, as he normally does his best work inside the box, bucked that trend against the Blades.

Emile Smith Rowe picked up the ball, laid it off to Nkeitah, and Arsenal’s No. 14 let fly from distance as Wes Foderingham had no chance to stop it.

As the saying goes, practice makes perfect and when he had a chance, Nketiah let fly with an unstoppable shot.

The win moves Arsenal into second, level on points with Manchester City after they disposed of Manchester United 3-0.
