Tonight’s Emirates Cup win against Monaco was a dream night for Eddie Nketiah, who captained his team and scored our only goal of the game in front of a special person in his career - Arsene Wenger.

The striker was handed the armband by Mikel Arteta for our first outing at Emirates Stadium this season, and it was a moment he admits he’ll never forget with his friends and family in attendance, as well as his former boss.

Speaking about the occasion, he said: “It was an amazing experience. Obviously it was my first time, so I’m grateful to the coach for trusting me, and my teammates.
