Wenger lauds Nketiah contribution after Carabao Cup brace

Arsene Wenger hailed the contribution of 18-year-old Eddie Nketiah, who came off the bench to score twice against Norwich City and book Arsenal's spot in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

Nketiah was introduced in the 85th minute at the Emirates Stadium with his side trailing to Josh Murphy's cool first-half finish.

The youngster made an immediate impact, equalising with almost his first touch to send the game into extra time.

He then ensured the headlines would be his in the 96th minute with a superb header from Mohamed Elneny's corner to secure his side's place in the next round.
