Nwaneri hits deadly double as Arsenal's teen talent shines

ETHAN A TOP GUN

ETHAN NWANERI led the way as Arsenal got their teenage kicks last night.

Boss Mikel Arteta started four youngsters against Bolton - and his trust was rewarded as the Gunners marched into the next round.

Jack Porter, at 16 years old, became the youngest player ever to start for the club, and did so in goal because David Raya was injured and Neto cup-tied.

But Arteta also started three 17-year-olds in Josh Nichols, Myles Lewis-Skelly, and Nwaneri and all four shone.

None of them had even been born when the club moved into the Emirates Stadium in 2006.

But Nwaneri added to a Declan Rice opener with strikes of his own either side of halftime his first for the club.
