The Gunners fought out a memorable and hard-fought draw with Man City at the weekend, but given they were seconds from victory, the point will have felt like two lost at the Etihad. Mikel Arteta rotated his pack heavily after that tense encounter, with 16-year-old goalkeeper Jack Porter getting a debut between the sticks and Ethan Nwaneri another young starter.

Arteta was rewarded by two goals from the latter, his first senior goals, as Raheem Sterling also netted his first Gunners goal in an eventual 5-1 win, with Kai Havertz wrapping up the scoring following Declan Rice’s early opener. Aaron Collins netted a consolation for the visitors in the second half to deny Porter a clean sheet, but Bolton were well beaten.
