Arsenal were in fine form on Wednesday evening, thumping Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup third round.

A brace from young star Ethan Nwaneri and goals from Declan Rice, Raheem Sterling secured a very comfortable 5-1 win over the League One side, with the Gunners booking a fourth round clash with Preston North End at the end of October as a result.

In his first competitive start for Arsenal, 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri really showed what all the fuss has been about.

Nwaneri became the youngest player since Jack Wilshere way back into 2008 to score for the Gunners in the first half, sweeping home a Raheem Sterling cross at the back post.

He then became youngest Arsenal player since Arturo Lupoli in 2004 to score a brace for the club when he slotted home a second under Luke Southwood in the second half.

The attacking midfielder was simply outstanding.

Raheem Sterling looked a man with a point to prove on his first start since his loan move from Chelsea.

And prove a point he definitely did.

The wide forward stated his case to start in the Premier League with a fantastic performance on the left flank in which he set up one goal and scored another - his first for the club. Nice one.

Declan Rice: 8/10

There's a case to be made that Declan Rice probably didn't need to start the game against Bolton - they probably didn't need him to beat a League One team.

The midfielder started though - playing 62 minutes of the game - and he played pretty damn well too.

He goal which opening the scoring, a rasping side-footed effort from the edge of the box, was a sight to behold.
