Arsenal forward Eddie Nketiah stole the headlines on Friday evening for England’s Under-21s side – and some of the club’s supporters on Twitter were blown away by his performance.

Aidy Boothroyd’s Young Lions recorded an emphatic 6-0 victory against Kosovo’s Under-21s, with all the goals scored in a busy second-half.

Nketiah, who captained England’s youth team, scored a quick-fire hat-trick shortly after half-time to help them race into an unassailable lead.

The 21-year-old scored once from the penalty spot, as well as a header at the back-post and also a simple close-range finish after finding space in the box.

After a loan spell at Leeds United in the first-half of last season in the Championship, he returned to the Emirates Stadium midway through the campaign and managed four goals across all competitions for the Gunners.

The centre-forward has become a regularly used player now by club manager Mikel Arteta and he started in the recent FA Community Shield win against Liverpool, which shows how valued he is now as a first teamer.

A selection of Arsenal supporters on social media were raving about their youngster following his clinical display on the international stage and one claimed he’s going to be a big player for them this season.
