Arsenal eased through to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup as they completed a free-scoring victory against Bolton. A chance for some youth stars to shine and summer signings to star, Mikel Arteta will have enjoyed this less stressful Gunners clash.
Declan Rice gave the Gunners the lead with a great strike, capitalising on some loose Bolton possession in their own defensive third from outside the box. Ethan Nwaneri then got the goal that everyone wanted, tapping in to complete Raheem Sterling’s first assist of his Arsenal career – further goals from Nwaneri, Sterling and Havertz completed the comfortable rainy night in north London.
