Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri becomes Premier League's youngest player at 15

Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri became the Premier League's youngest-ever player on Sunday, making history when he came on as a substitute in their 3-0 win at Brentford.

Nwaneri came on for Fabio Vieira in the 90th minute as Mikel Arteta's men cruised to a 3-0 win at the Brentford Community Stadium. Vieira had earlier struck a superb goal in his first start for the club, while William Saliba and Gabriel Jesus were also on target as Arsenal moved back to the top of the table.

At 15 years, 5 months and 23 days, Nwaneri broke the record previously held by Liverpool's Harvey Elliott (16 years, 30 days).
