A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to praise Reiss Nelson’s goalscoring performance on Friday as England Under-21s enjoyed a great day at the office.

The Gunners winger came off the bench just after the hour in the European Under-21 Championship qualifier against Kosovo Under-21s in Pristina and didn’t take long to get on the scoresheet.

With Aidy Boothroyd’s side already three to the good thanks to a hat-trick by Arsenal teammate Eddie Nketiah, Nelson slammed home the fourth on 66 minutes after good work from Max Aarons.

Ryan Sessegnon and Jude Bellingham also got on the scoresheet as England U21s ran out 6-0 winners, a fifth victory from five Group Three fixtures.

Nelson has been utilised sparingly by Mikel Arteta since the Spaniard’s arrival but quite a few Arsenal fans reckon this will be his breakthrough season.

Nelson has come through the ranks at the Emirates Stadium and has made 39 senior competitive appearances to date.
