Following Arsenal’s 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest, supporters praised 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri on social media for his important contributions on the pitch. Bukayo Saka and Thomas Partey scored goals in the victory, which followed Arsenal’s three straight league defeats, before Nwaneri made history as the team’s youngest Premier League scorer since Cesc Fabregas in 2004.
Raheem Sterling helped Nwaneri, who came off the bench in the 82nd minute, score four minutes later. The teen’s talent and confidence were immediately praised by fans, who wrote, “Remember the name Ethan Nwaneri 17 yrs what a star in the making.” Others remarked on his remarkable
debut and gave him positive comparisons to well-known celebrities, with one admirer brazenly asserting, “What is Palmer’s advantage over Nwaneri other than minutes? There isn’t much of a talent gap.
Ethan will shine just as brightly if you give him the same opportunities. After scoring goals in the Carabao Cup, Nwaneri’s strike against Forest was his fourth for Arsenal this season. Nwaneri has now made nine appearances this season across all competitions after making his senior debut the previous season. As they look to contend for the Premier League crown for the third year in a row, his performance gave Arsenal a boost.
