Ethan Nwaneri spotted as the youngest player in Premier League history.

Fifteen-year-old Ethan Nwaneri spotted as the youngest ever player in the English top flight when he came on as a substitute for Arsenal as they fought-back to the top of the Premier League with a comfortable 3-0 win at Brentford.

Ethan Nwaneri broke the record previously held by Liverpool's Harvey Elliott when he appeared for Fulham aged 16 years and 30 days. Ethan came on in the second minute of stoppage time in the competition at the age of 15 years and 181 days.

Nwaneri has played for Arsenal at U18s level and at the age of 14 he played for the England U16s.

After the game, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said that he should give Nwaneri an opportunity to play with the senior team.
