Eze experiences immense joy after scoring his first goal for Arsenal

After netting his first goal for Arsenal, the costly newcomer Eberechi Eze offered some significant remarks.

Arsenal secured their place in the Carabao Cup fourth round with a 2-0 victory at Port Vale. Despite a windy and chilly evening, the "Gunners" demonstrated the composure expected of a top club. The opener for Arsenal was none other than Eberechi Eze, the promising new signing expected to bring creativity to the midfield. After the match, the English star could not hide his happiness at scoring his first goal for his new team.

Eze commented: “This is a special day for me, scoring my first goal for Arsenal and helping the team to win. The most important thing is that we progressed to the next round, but personally, I am truly delighted with this goal.”

The player wearing the number 10 shirt also revealed details about the goal: “I found some space inside the box and knew there wasn’t much time left to act. I focused on finishing immediately, and luckily the ball went in. Behind that moment lies a lot of effort and training to be in the right place at the right time.”

The match at Vale Park held special significance as it featured four players developed through Arsenal’s academy starting the game, including Bukayo Saka, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, and Eberechi Eze himself. This illustrates the strategy of blending youth with experience that coach Mikel Arteta is persistently building. Giving opportunities to young talents even in cup matches strengthens the squad depth and lays a foundation for the future.

After the win, Eze also expressed gratitude to the 3,000 Arsenal fans who traveled far to support the team: “That support means everything to us. As long as we have such encouragement and cheering, we will keep pushing forward, continue fighting for the fans.”.

According to the draw, Arsenal will host Brighton at the Emirates in the round of 16. With his impressive performance against Port Vale, Eberechi Eze is proving to be a key piece in the Gunners’ quest for silverware this season.
