Mikel Arteta is set to face the press after Arsenal’s Carabao Cup fourth round clash with Preston North End at Deepdale.
The Gunners were totally dominant from the off and got in front when Gabriel Jesus hammered home Jakub Kiwior’s knockdown for his first goal since January.
Then came something a little special as Ethan Nwaneri took his chance yet again by curling home a beauty of an effort from the edge of the box.
Substitute Kai Havertz then added a third with a thumping header before the hour mark to secure the game.
There were chances to add a fourth through Raheem Sterling and Jesus again. Ultimately though Arsenal declared on three having secured safe passage into quarter finals for the first time since 2021.
One man of the match tonight – Ethan Nwaneri. He grabs his opportunity with two hands yet again! Good evening’s work for Gabriel Jesus and Jakub Kiwior too.
