Eddie Nketiah stole the spotlight on Saturday as he scored a hat-trick in Arsenal 5-0 victory against Sheffield United.
The Gunners had a three-goal lead before half-time, with Nketiah seizing his opportunity to shine in Gabriel Jesus absence due to a hamstring injury.
The young talent delivered a stunning treble, marking his first Premier League hat-trick for the Gunners. His performance earned him an applause from Jesus, who watched from the stands.
Nketiah’s hat-trick also made him the first Englishman to score a top-flight hat-trick for Arsenal since Theo Walcott achieved the feat in 2015.
