Martin Keown issues verdict on Eddie Nketiah display in Arsenal win
Martin Keown has labelled the performance of Eddie Nketiah ‘magnificent’ as Arsenal beat Chelsea on Wednesd𝓰ay, that the club’s academy graduates now deserve even more credit for inspiring the win.
Mikel Arteta’s men may have just got their top-four push in the Premier League back on track. The Gunners stunned many by beati💫ng Chelsea 4-2 at Stamford Bridge to end a run of three successive defeats.
It was a remarkable performance from the visitors. 𝔉Emile Smith Rowe scored a brilliant goal during the first-half, while Bukayo Saka put the exclamation point on the win after the break.
But the night belonged to Nketiah. The 22-year-ol⛄d scored twice on only his second league start of the season.
His first saw him do brilliantly to capitalise on a Andreas Christensen mis💝take to put Arsenal in front. And once agai🍌n, he reacted quickest to make the score 3-2 in the second-half.
It could be a real turning point for Nketiah amid doubts over his Arsenal future. And Keown certainly feels that he☂ prove🥀d a real point in the hugely significant win.
“I thought he was magnificent today. I know that the ♏second one was perhaps given to him on a plate, the first one. You’ve got to be there to capitalise. He looked sharp, he dealt with the ball well. And those youngsters at Arsenal keep producing,” .
Eddie Nketiah putting Premier League rivals on notice after Arsenal brace
Arsenal face a tough call with Nketiah. It is clear that he wants regular first-team football. And he has not had that all seaso🐼n at the Emirates.
Wednesday demonstrated what he can💦 do. But Arsenal surely cannot afford to offer him the assurances he is🎃 looking for.
Instead, it is pr💫obably some of the Gunners’ Premier League rivals who have been put on notice. And there are likely to♔ be a few more calls to his agent this morning ahead of the summer.
