Revelations on Twitter said coach Mikel Arteta attended the last match of Arsenal U21s.

Arsenal U21 got a pretty easy win over Leicester City in the framework of Premier League 2. Coach Mikel Arteta was in attendance and he was clearly overwhelmed by the performance of the prodigy Ethan Nwaneri.

Nwaneri’s performance delighted Arteta.

Arsenal U21 took the lead, but Nwaneri equalized in the 41st minute. The visitors were down to 10 men in the second half and Nwaneri scored the second goal in the 58th minute.

James Sweet made it 3-1 a few minutes later for the Gunners and Nwaneri scored a hat-trick with six minutes left.

According to reports, the Hale End academy player proved to be superior to most players on the field. Journalist Fabrizio Romano previously revealed that Nwaneri’s talent made Arsenal management give him a scholarship and will be the highest salary recipient in the academy.

In September last year, Nwaneri was brought on by Arteta against Brentford. At that time, the midfielder became the youngest player to ever play in a Premier League match, at 15 years 5 months 23 days.
