Nathan Butler-Oyedeji is the latest Arsenal youngster to make his debut under Mikel Arteta, coming on against Ipswich Town in the Premier League.
It was a decent game to come on in. Arsenal players dominated Ipswich, with the Gunners absolutely cruising to their 18th victory in the Premier League this season.
Mikel Merino was quality, Martin Odegaard was inspired and youngster Ethan Nwaneri impressed with a goal. A succesful day out.
But whilst Nwaneri got the goal, it was an extremely special day for youngster Nathan Butler-Oyedeji. He made his Premier League debut against The Tractor Boys.
