Former Gunner posts video celebrating Arsenal goals | OneFootball

Alex Iwobi filmed a video celebrating watching his former teammate Eddie Nketiah score for Arsenal over the weekend.

Arsenal fans around the world tuned in to watch their team thrash Sheffield United 5-0 on Saturday, and former Gunner Alex Iwobi was among those watching.

Posting on his Snapchat after Eddie Nketiah’s second goal of the game, Iwobi sang: “Your defence is in trouble”, a reference to a popular fan song for the Arsenal striker.

When Nketiah’s third goal went in, Iwobi shared another clip, saying: “Oh my… I’ve been saying it!” before again singing Nketiah’s song.

Iwobi and Nketiah both came through the academy system at Arsenal, playing for the u23s together before progressing into the first team.

Iwobi’s breakthrough came slightly earlier, playing his first senior season for Arsenal in 2015/16, a couple of years before Nketiah made his debut.

But Iwobi was on the pitch alongside Nketiah that day for the 2-1 win in the League Cup against Norwich City, watching on as debutant Eddie scored a brace.

The two players have since parted ways, with Iwobi going on to make well over 100 appearances for Everton before moving to Fulham this summer. But the 27-year-old is clearly keeping an eye out for his former teammates.

Iwobi scored his first goal for his new side in September, in the League Cup, at home to Norwich City, in a 2-1 win.
