Why 'extra special' Nwaneri has to remain patient

When you are mentioned in the same sentence as Cesc Fabregas, the future must be bright.

Arsenal returned to winning ways by overcoming Nottingham Forest 3-0 thanks to some familiar names - and an exciting 17-year-old talent.

Mikel Arteta's side had fallen away in the Premier League title race after failing to win their previous four games.

But Bukayo Saka, who pulled out of England's recent Nations League fixtures with a leg injury, set Arsenal on their way with his first goal in five matches after combining with captain Martin Odegaard.

Saka then teed-up Thomas Partey to double the lead before attacking midfielder Ethan Nwaneri, who does not turn 18 until March, offered a glimpse into Arsenal's future by sealing the points with his first top-flight goal.
