Arteta said afterwards: "He continues to impress, without a doubt. The impact he had in the game again today, the efficiency that he shows in every attack and action, it's incredible. He deserves to have chances and if he continues like this, let's see what happens.

"The most similar one was Ethan (Nwaneri). I think it was a different stage there, but he managed it so fast. Even last year when he was training with us, he was doing this kind of thing in training and now he's doing it in the game consistently.

"So the three or four games that he's played, he's managed to impact and have big moments in the game."
