👶 Five youngsters who impressed in the Carabao Cup | OneFootball

Away from hectic Premier League life, the Carabao Cup allows youngsters to impress when managers rotate.

Here’s who we liked watching from the latest round of fixtures …

Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal)

Nobody knew much about Gabriel Martinelli when he arrived from Série D side Ituano, but he is already impressing in North London.

He capped an energetic, hard-working performance against Nottingham Forest with two goals and could be a wildcard for future games.

Reece James (Chelsea)

After suffering an ankle injury in pre-season, Reece James looked sharp on his first-team return against Grimsby Town on Wednesday.

Ending the night with one goal – an expertly curled finish from 18 yards – and one assist to his name, César Azpilicueta should watch over his shoulder.

Harvey Elliott (Liverpool)

Brought to Anfield from Fulham this summer, Harvey Elliott already looks comfortable at senior level despite just turning 16 in April.

His touch, decision making and movement into space were all impressive against MK Dons, as he was later voted Man of the Match.

Mason Greenwood (Manchester United)

Have we found the Robin van Persie regen? Mason Greenwood again came to the rescue for Manchester United with a goal against Rochdale.

He can look peripheral, but his agility, two-footedness and pure finishing ability are already making a difference in an extremely lacklustre side.

Eric García (Manchester City)

Handed an opportunity against Preston, Eric García played like a defender ten years his senior.

He was composed on the ball, strong in the air and constantly found marshalling those around him. Has he put himself into Pep Guardiola’s thinking?
