Eddie Nketiah of Arsenal equaled club great Nwankwo Kanu’s record with a brace in the first 10 minutes of the Gunners’ 2-1 Premier League victory over Leeds United on Sunday.
Nketiah scored twice as Arsenal trounced Leeds United at Emirates Stadium over the weekend.
According to OptaJoe, Nketiah’s brace equals a club record set by Kanu, making him the second Arsenal player in history to strike a brace in the first 10 minutes of a Premier League encounter.
WITHIN NIGERIA recalls that Kanu scored in the third and ninth minute as the Gunners defeated Sunderland 3-1 at Highbury on October 6, 2002.
The Nigerian legend poked the ball home from two yards to open the scoring for Arsenal.
The two-time Premier League winner then doubled the advantage when he headed in an assist from Ashley Cole.
Meanwhile, Nketiah will hope to continue his impressive display for Arsenal when they face Tottenham Hotspur in their next game on Thursday.
Arsenal currently sit in the fourth position on the Premier League table with 4 points ahead of fifth-place Tottenham.
