We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Eddie Nketiah scores goals.
The 20-year-old was at it again on Tuesday night as he grabbed a goal in the Carabao Cup as Leeds United drew 2-2 with Stoke City.
Nketiah pounced on a mistake from Jack Butland before making the England international look very silly. The youngster put the ball through the goalkeeper’s legs before tapping into an empty net.
The forward also netted his penalty in the shootout, however, a miss from Jack Harrison meant that the Potters advanced to the third round.
Despite the defeat, these Arsenal and Leeds fans were quick to praise the striker once again following an impressive performance.

Read Arsenal verdict
Nketiah now has two goals in two Leeds starts, and a pattern is quickly emerging – put the forward on the pitch from the off and he will score.
We may have to wait a little longer until the striker is handed a first start in the Championship, with Marcelo Bielsa’s side top of the pile after five games.
Nketiah, who scored the winner off the bench against Brentford last week, may have to make do with substitute appearances in the Championship in the coming weeks.
However, if he continues his fine form, it won’t be long until Bielsa is forced to make room for the Arsenal man in his starting line up.
