Two Arsenal academy products were on the scoresheet for England’s under-21’s as they beat Turkey 3-2 on Friday night.
Eddie Nketiah, who is currently on loan to Leeds, scored twice before Reiss Nelson found the back of the net to win the game late on.

READ ARSENAL VERDICT
Should Arsenal have sent Nketiah out on loan?
Absolutely. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette have both had strong starts to the season, with the pair scoring in the North London derby last weekend, meaning that it would have been unlikely to see Nketiah break into the starting line-up.
Since joining Leeds on loan in the Championship, Nketiah has scored five goals in six games for club and country – which shows that his loan move is helping him thrive at senior level.
Arsenal will be hoping that he can continue to have a strong season with Leeds before returning to The Emirates next summer.
