Daily Mail | October 24, 2017

Edward Nketiah announced himself to the Arsenal faithful in the best way possible as the youngster came off the bench to score twice against Norwich in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

Josh Murphy had given the visitors a surprise lead and they looked good value for it until the 18-year-old replaced Reiss Nelson in the 85th minute.

Nketiah made an instant impact, poking home at the far post with his first touch before bagging the winner with a fine header in extra-time.
