PREMIER LEAGUE record-breaker Ethan Nwaneri helped Arsenal U21s to qualify from Southern Group H on Tuesday evening.
The precocious young gun who made his Gunners first team debut for Mikel Arteta’s side aged just 15 years and 181 days during a 3-0 victory over Brentford last month, came on as a substitute to help the north Londoners to a 3-1 victory at Northampton Town.
Prior to that, the Cobblers Josh Tomlinson made history of his own, when netting in the 10th minute to put the home side 1-0 ahead, becoming the youngest scorer in the club’s history at 16 years and 321 days.
