'I was on it': Nketiah explains why he handed penalty to Fabio Vieira

Eddie Nketiah on giving the penalty to Fabio Vieira: “I was on it, I was going to take it, but Fabio, it was a special moment for him.

"He’s expecting a baby & he won the penalty - he asked if he could take it, and I said, ‘Of course!’, it’s a team sport, I’ve got three [goals]!"

Fabio Vieira didn't disappoint as he slotted Arsenal's fourth before Tomiyasu made it five.

Such a gesture isn't new among the Gunners. Earlier this season, Martin Odegaard handed Kai Havertz a spot-kick when many expected him to take it.
