Arsenal fans love marauding Jenkinson goal and Nketiah assist for Under-23s
ARSENAL fans have flocked to Twitter after Carl Jenkinson scored an incredible goal for the Under-23s against Chelsea this week.
The out-of-favour full-back, 27, raced the length of the pitch to get himself into the box and slot a left-footed shot home against the Blues.
Better yet for Gooners, promising forward Eddie Nketiah was the man to tee up unlikely hero Jenkinson for the goal.
In the clip, the former West Ham loanee raced from right-back to centre-forward in a gut-busting dart up the length of the pitch.
After getting himself in prime position, all Jenkinson had to do was keep a cool head – with fans full of praise for defender.
One fan on Twitter wrote: “Lifetime contract needed. Now.”
“BEST IN THE LEAGUE”
Another claimed: “Give him a chance @UnaiEmery_ @Arsenal”
A third added: “I wish he’d get a game. There’s a Jenkinson in all of us.”
One even joked: “Incredible. Best RB in the league.”
