Rarely does a teenager enjoy such a memorable night as Edward Nketiah. The Arsenal starlet was called upon by Wenger in the 85th minute of the Carabao Cup clash with Norwich. The Gunners were trailing 1-0 at the Emirates... enter Nketiah.

Arsene Wenger's men looked to be on their way out of the EFL Cup in the fourth Round. Norwich had managed to score in north London and were very close to qualifying for the quarter-finals. However, Nketiah fixed it in 11 minutes.

The young striker received his final instructions from Wenger and came on in the 85th minute. 14 seconds later, he tapped in a Coquelin flick-on to take the game to extra-time.

11 minutes later, the 18-year-old latched onto a cross from Elneny to grab his second of the night and nod the Gunners ahead.
