MIKEL'S YOUNG GUN NWANERI TURNS UP HEAT

DUBAI here they come.

Ethan Nwaneri produced a moment of brilliance to secure Arsenal's place in the top eight and ensure Mikel Arteta can take his team on a warm-weather camp next month.

Having embarked on a relentless run of form after a break in the UAE last January, Arteta will be hoping another spell in the sun can similarly rejuvenate his team.

This was harder work than expected as Arnaut Danjuma put Girona ahead before Jorginho levelled from the spot.

Then Nwaneri, 17, became the second youngest Englishman to score in the Champions League - bettered only by Jude Bellingham - with a ferocious attempt from the edge of the box.
