The Future: Nwaneri and Lewis-Skelly Achieve Unique Feat in the Champions League
On Tuesday, March 4, the first matches of the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 took place. In one of the encounters, Arsenal visited PSV.
The first half was simply spectacular for the "Gunners": Mikel Arteta's team scored three goals against their opponents.
In one of the goals, Ethan Nwaneri scored after a pass from Myles Lewis-Skelly. Thus, the two young Arsenal academy graduates made history in the Champions League.
This is the first time in the history of the most prestigious club tournament that two English players under the age of 18 have combined for a goal.
Moreover, Nwaneri is the second youngest Arsenal player (17 years and 348 days) to play in a Champions League knockout match since Cesc Fabregas against Bayern in March 2005 (17 years and 309 days).
