'His performance was really, really good, and on top of that he scored a great goal.'
Date published: Tuesday 27th December 2022 9:52 -Eddie Nketiah was utterly unfazed by the pressure of replacing injured striker Gabriel Jesus in Arsenal’s 3-1 Boxing Day comeback win over West Ham, said boss Mikel Arteta., which also marked the 23-year-old’s first start of the season after his Brazilian team-mate sustained a knee injury during the World Cup.
“He’s a really confident boy,” he said. “But hopefully [the goal] can give him, if he had any doubts, more confidence about what he is capable of doing. His performance was really, really good, and on top of that he scored a great goal. For Eddie and for the team I think it was really important.” The Gunners frustration grew as a late handball call in their favour was overturned by a VAR check to end the first half but remained resolute after the restart.
Odegaard picked up two assists in a single Premier League match for the second time in his career, having also achieved the same feat last Boxing Day against Norwich. While Arteta has been quick to emphasise the challenging second half of the season ahead, he has not stopped his side from daring to dream about silverware.
