2. Nwaneri shines yet again

The 17-year-old has played two Carabao Cup games level and has looked a level above the competition in both. Nwaneri has scored three goals in the competition all while playing with the swagger of a masterful pro.

His curling effort to double the Gunners' lead was a thing of beauty as our Hale End graduate picked his spot and lashed home. While many will fixate on his goal, his link-up play was also of the highest order.

Like Bukayo Saka before him, it appears another left-footer from our academy is set for stardom.
