However, a 15-year-old Nwaneri made his debut during one of the game’s key moments.
In the final minute of play, Nwaneri entered the game in place of Bukayo Saka.
“It was just a gut instinct. When I first met the boy, I was really impressed. He attended some of our training sessions.
“Yesterday, I had the sensation that I would act on the chance if it presented itself. He merits it, Arteta told the media.
Ethan Nwaneri made history by playing in a Premier League game at the age of 15 years and 181 days.
Harvey Elliott, who started for Fulham at the age of 16 years and 30 days, was the previous youngest player (v Wolves in May 2019).

The team managed by Erik ten Hag has performed admirably in their last three games and was successful in defeating the Gunners once more.
Even though Arsenal football club, the top team in the English Premier League this season, made every effort to keep their perfect record intact, they were lost 3-1.
