Nketiah: Hat-trick hero

The Arsenal wonderkid got his first goal early in the game to make it 2-0. Lloyd Kelly headed a corner goalwards and Nketiah peeled off his man to knock the ball in with a swivelled volley.

It was 3-0 soon after with Nketiah grabbing the goal. He rose highest to meet a cross from the left, guiding his header into the bottom corner.

Then, Nketiah rounded off a fine performance by converting from close range. Rhian Brewster sent a cross in from the right flank and Nketiah fired into the net for his treble.

Nketiah could have grabbed a fourth late on but his penalty was saved. Nonetheless, Arsenal fans have been praising their youngster on Twitter. And there is a feeling that he should be playing more.

The England starlet is currently on loan at Leeds United but Patrick Bamford starts ahead of him. Here are some Arsenal fans reacting to Nketiah’s latest display.
