Arsenal placed himself with hang and strangles for the next round of the EFL Cup. The Gunners thank Edward Nketiah for preventing a booming Norwich City stunt from happening at the very last moment. The eighteen-year-old attacker brought Arsenal to the same level just for time and shot his team in the extension to victory.
Nketiah recently made his debut in the first team of the Gunners in the Europa League match against BATE Borisov. Arsenal manager Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger put the attacker five minutes before time in the field, as a replacement for Reiss Nelson. At that time, the home team needed the attacking impulses, because it had been looking at a backlog since the 34th minute. Josh Murphy escaped the attention of the Arsenal defense and took Norwich City, which normally appeared in the Championship, ahead of the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal did not start with the strongest formation in the match against Norwich City but put players such as Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Olivier Giroud on the competition form. Although Alex Iwobi and Rob Holding gave the Gunners opportunities in the first half of the year, the damage could have been even greater for rest. However, Arsenal goalkeeper Matt Macey prevented Nélson Oliveira from doubling the margin just before rest.
In the second half of the year, it looked like Norwich City would be able to hold on to its future in London, but five minutes before time, Wenger decided to change. Fifteen seconds after his entrance, Nketiah made the equalizer, with which Arsenal managed to force an extension. In the extension, too, the young substitute was also accurate. In the last minutes of the extra time he could even have taken care of his third hit of the evening, but he didn’t get there. Thanks to the 2-1 victory, Arsenal achieved the next round of the EFL Cup, although it took some effort.
