Super Eagle Onyeka 'earned his standing ovation' in Brentford's win over Arsenal - Carney

The West African was substituted with 10 minutes to go and had played his part for the Bees' historic win

Ex-Arsenal and Chelsea attacker Karen Carney was left impressed with the way Super Eagles midfielder Frank Onyeka played in the 2-0 win over the Gunners on his Premier League debut.

The Nigeria international moved to the promoted side on a five-year deal from FC Midtjylland in July and was partnering Vitaly Janelt in strengthening the Bees’ midfield.

His impact was effective as he helped to control the midfield department as Sergi Canos completed Ethan Pinnock's pass in the 22nd minute to send the home fans into a frenzy.
