The Gunners won 2-1 against their Premier League rivals Bournemouth away from home at the Vitality Stadium in the fourth round of the prestigious cup competition on Monday evening.
Bukayo Saka put Mikel Arteta’s side in the lead after just five minutes, and 20-year-old striker Nketiah doubled the advantage on 26 minutes.
Although Bournemouth made a late rally and halved the deficit in the fourth minute of injury time through Sam Surridge, the Gunners held on for the win.
Nketiah has expressed his delight on Twitter at scoring for Arsenal and at the North London outfit’s progress to the fifth round of the FA Cup.
Anyone call for a goal? Big performance by the team to secure a place in the next round. God is good! #EN30 @Arsenal pic.twitter.com/ImC0tVUJND
