The recent Arsenal match against Nottingham Forest at the Emirates on Saturday, November 23, was an exhilarating experience for fans, with the Gunners securing a 3-0 victory. Amidst the jubilation, one young player caught the attention of fans on social media, and his name was Ethan Nwaneri. The 17-year-old midfielder made his presence felt on the pitch, scoring his first Premier League goal of the season. Nwaneri’s exceptional performance did not go unnoticed, with fans hailing him as a “generational talent” and a “threat” on the pitch.
Nwaneri’s impressive display was not the only highlight of the match. Bukayo Saka opened the scoring in the 15th minute, thanks to a brilliant pass from Martin Odegaard. Thomas Partey, however, doubled Arsenal’s lead in the 52nd minute, paving the way for a comfortable win. Despite Arsenal’s efforts to double their lead, the first half ended 1-0.
In the 86th minute, Nwaneri sealed the deal, scoring his first Premier League goal of the season. Fans on social media were quick to react to the result, with many praising Nwaneri’s exceptional performance. One fan noticed that Nwaneri already had four goals to his name this season and opined that “that kid HAS IT. Looks a threat and one of the best players on the pitch any time he’s on it.”
Another fan echoed similar sentiments, stating that they had always known Nwaneri would shine, and the youngster did just that. Fans were also particularly impressed with Nwaneri’s ability to skip tackles quickly and shoot, with one fan likening his movement to that of Lionel Messi. The praise for Nwaneri was universal, with one fan opining that he was “a generational talent and we need to protect him at all cost.”
The victory for Arsenal took their points tally to 22 from 12 league games, with the team ranked fourth in the standings. Fans are now eagerly waiting to see what the future holds for the young midfielder. In other news, reports have emerged that Arsenal are looking to sign Alexander Isak in the January transfer window. Isak has been impressive for Newcastle United, scoring five goals and registering two assists in 11 games across all competitions.
Arsenal’s struggles without a natural striker this season could be alleviated with the signing of Isak, who has a contract with Newcastle that expires in June 2028. His attacking brilliance and ability to score goals make him a desirable signing for the Gunners. If they can secure his services, Isak could be the missing piece in their attack, propelling them to become a strong contender for the Premier League title.
