Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah has joined an exclusive club after his starring display vs Leeds United.
The Gunners are currently locked in Premier League action with the Peacocks at the Emirates.
Arsenal headed into the game knowing a win would see them move four points above Tottenham and all but guarantee their spot in next seasonβs Champions League.
And, at the time of writing, the north Londoners are on course to earn a crucial three points.
It took Mikel Artetaβs side less than five minutes to open the scoring on the day, with Eddie Nketiah capitalising on a mistake from the Leeds goalkeeper:
LOOK AWAY, LEEDS FANS! ππ
A howler from Illan Meslier and it’s the worst possible start for the away side! π¬
