Takes two shots against Everton Nketiah took two shots and created a chance in Saturday's 1-0 defeat against Everton. He also won two of two tackles in the match.

Nets brace to down Red Devils Nketiah scored two goals to go with six shots (three on goal) in Sunday's 3-2 victory over Manchester United.

Impact Nketiah was the absolute hero for Arsenal on Sunday, as he scored the equalizer with a header from close range following a cross from Granit Xhaka and later netted the game-winning strike with a close-range deflection in the dying minutes of the contest. Nketiah has been forced to handle a bigger role after Gabriel Jesus suffered a knee injury in the 2022 World Cup, but he has stepped up for the Gunners and has racked up four goals on 19 shots (10 on target) during his last five EPL starts.

Signs new Arsenal contract Nketiah has signed a new long-term contract with Arsenal.

No matter, he got a new contract and has bigger things in sight.
