Arsenal youngster Eddie Nketiah is emerging as a hero for Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United. The player on loan at the Championship side scored an 80th-minute winner on his debut to send Leeds United top of the table.
Nketiah, who shone for Arsenal in pre-season, had just come on in the 76th minute and would score the winner 4 minutes later. He also scored on his official Leeds United debut as the team was playing in a league cup tie against Salford City a week ago.

The 20-year-old is eligible to play for Ghana as he has only featured for the English youth teams. He found playing time hard to come by at Arsenal as the club has two elite strikers in Pierre Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette.
As expected, Arsenal fans were quick to laud the academy graduate after his heroic night and goal for Leeds United.
Eddie nketiah has more goals in 2019 than 350k/week Sanchez😂😂

Another debut for Nketiah, another goal. 4 minutes into his Championship debut, he finds the back of the net for Leeds — a goal that eventually won them the game. Keep it up, Eddie 🔥 #LUFC #AFC pic.twitter.com/9aS6d9XCKi
