Arsenal secured their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, thanks to a brilliant goal by 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri, who became the second-youngest Englishman to score in the competition's history. The match saw Jorginho equalize following Girona's initial lead, but it was Nwaneri's skillful left-footed strike that sealed the victory. Mikel Arteta praised Nwaneri's confidence, aggression, and finishing capability, marking him as an essential player for the team, especially during Bukayo Saka's absence, highlighting his significant contributions on the field.
"That's what we love about him, he's willing to take the initiative to make things happen," Arteta told reporters.
"He has the capacity to finish from every angle basically, and it was a very important goal."
"It's very natural for him, you can see the way he takes the touches, how he beats people and then the technique he's got, he's so precise in his finishing."
