Another Arsenal prodigy finally introduced himself to the Premier League, and we're sure there's more to come.
Seventeen-year-old Ethan Nwaneri scored his first goal in the top flight against Nottingham Forest to wrap up a 3-0 win on Saturday.
The academy graduate looked back on the moment to discuss the goal and what it means to him to be Arsenal's second-youngest Premier League scorer.
Check it out...
"I'm incredibly proud and I'm happy," Nwaneri said on the goal. "I'm excited, but yeah, I'm just ready for more. Just keep pushing basically."
"I know Raheem is a good player and can find players in the box, so I wasn't shocked when he found me. Then, you know, it was just instinct to put it in the bottom corner.
"I was just grateful for him. He's assisted me again this season, so I'm happy.
"[Coming off the bench] I just come to show what I can do. Just impact the game like usual."

Nwaneri is behind only Cesc Fabregas as the youngest Premier League scorer in Arsenal's history.
"It makes me feel very proud," he said. "Such a great name that I'm just behind so, it's a good achievement and I'm happy."
Just how many will he score for the senior team?
