Eddie Nketiah fires Arsenal into the Carabao Cup semi-finals as young striker nets a HAT-TRICK against Sunderland... before 18-year-old debutant Charlie Patino scores final goal in 5-1 demolition

When Eddie Nketiah plays in the Carabao Cup he scores.

It has been that way since the beginning, when he announced himself spectacularly in 2017, opening his Arsenal account with his first touch off the bench against Norwich and later scoring the winner.

His happy knack has continued this season. Nketiah’s only three starts this season have all come in this competition but he has made them count, scoring each time.
