Arteta praises Arsenal youngsters

Mikel Arteta spoke about Ethan Nwaneri after he scored a double in Arsenal's Carabao Cup victory against Bolton: "You can tell he is playing with a confidence and belief and an understanding of what he needs to do on the pitch.

"In his journey with the first team he is always ahead of what everybody expected and I expected, too. He deserves that and he is part of us so he will have the minutes."

On 16-year-old goalkeeper Jack Porter: "We told him [that he was starting] yesterday and he was over the moon,

"He spoke straight away to his family and they were not prepared for that.

"It is a big step, a big occasion for them and I think they were nervous about it. But he reacted really well, he was really composed in training and his team-mates helped him, too.

"What an experience and what a way to break a record [becoming Arsenal's youngest ever starter]."
