Arsenal 5-0 Sheffield United: What Nketiah said

  • Published

Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah speaking to BBC Match of the Day about his first Premier League hat-trick for the club: "It's amazing. It's not been easy. Last month I lost my auntie, so I want to dedicate these three goals to her. Her family were here watching, so it is a really special moment.

"These games are about patience and not losing discipline. For the first goal, it was a good ball from Dec [Rice] and a lovely touch and finish from myself.

"The second, I thought it was clear to go but it is never nice when you see the purple VAR screen come up. The third was amazing, a great strike and a special moment."

On handing the penalty to Fabio Vieira: "My first instinct was to grab the ball and go, but Fabio won it and it was a good moment. It's all about being a team player. It was his time to get a chance and he tucked it away."
