Teenager Ethan Nwaneri scored his first Arsenal goals as they cruised to victory over League One Bolton to reach the Carabao Cup fourth round

17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri and deadline day signing Raheem Sterling both scored their first Arsenal goals as the Gunners hammered Bolton 4-1 in the EFL Cup third round on Wednesday. Nwaneri scored either side of half-time after Declan Rice had given the home team the lead. Aaron Collins pulled one back for Bolton before Sterling opened his account and Kai Havertz added a fifth. Arsenal advanced into the Carabao Cup fourth round after a thumping 5-1 victory against Bolton Wanderers. Mikel Arteta’s men didn’t take long to get started at Emirates Stadium, with Declan Rice firing the Gunners ahead from outside the box after 16 minutes, capitalising on a failed clearance from Scott Arfield. Ethan Nwaneri made it 2-0 to Arsenal less than 20 minutes later, on what was his first start for the club, stroking home from close range after some great work from Raheem Sterling. Nwaneri grabbed his second just four minutes into the second half, with Rice exploiting another defensive mistake before feeding Nwaneri, who fired his effort past Luke Southwood. Bolton did give their travelling support something to cheer about just after half-time, with Aaron Collins catching Arsenal on the break before sliding his effort past Jack Porter. Normal service resumed shortly after, though, with Raheem Sterling netting his first Arsenal goal before Kai Havertz made it 5-1, just six minutes after entering the fray.
