Ethan Nwaneri's performance delighted Mikel Arteta but did not surprise him as the 17-year-old's superb strike helped Arsenal to a 3-0 win over Preston and into the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup.

The teenager bent in a fine first-half goal after Gabriel Jesus's first strike since January had set Arsenal on their way, with substitute Kai Havertz adding the third early in the second half.
