Nketiah who is being persuaded to play for the Black Stars became the second Arsenal player to score two goals in the opening ten minutes of a match twice.

Kanu was the first player to have achieved that mark at Arsenal in 2002 when he scored a brace in the opening ten minutes against Sunderland in the Premier League.
