Arsenal's Ethan Nwaneri made history by scoring his second Premier League goal before the age of 18, surpassing Cesc Fabregas' record. The teenager, already Arsenal’s youngest-ever player, continues to make an impact and is set for more first-team opportunities, especially with Bukayo Saka sidelined.
Teenage star Ethan Nwaneri made history for Arsenal in their Premier League match against Brighton by scoring a 16th-minute goal, which gave him the record of the youngest Arsenal player to score twice in the competition before the age of 18. His left-footed strike surpassed Cesc Fabregas' record, who only managed one goal before turning 18. Nwaneri’s previous achievement was breaking the record for the club's youngest-ever player in 2022 when he debuted at the age of 15 years and 181 days, which also made him the youngest player in Premier League history.
This season, Nwaneri has been a regular part of the Arsenal first-team, having started in consecutive Premier League matches, including the fixture against Brighton. With Bukayo Saka sidelined due to injury, Nwaneri is expected to feature more prominently in upcoming matches, including crucial fixtures in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
Arsenal fans are hopeful that the 17-year-old's remarkable progress will continue as he eyes further records and a long career at the club. The young prodigy's future at Arsenal looks bright as he takes full advantage of the opportunities presented to him this season.
