Ghana target Eddie Nketiah was in action for Arsenal in their 2-0 defeat to Newcastle United in the Premier League on Monday.
The 22-year-old lasted the entire duration of the game as the Gunners’ hopes of finishing in the top four were dealt a huge blow at St James’ Park.
After a goalless first-half, Mikel Arteta’s side fell behind early when Ben White turned the ball into his own net under pressure from Callum Wilson.
Bruno Guimaraes, who has become a cult hero since joining Newcastle at the start of this year, then rounded off the impressive win when he drove into the net as Arsenal struggled to clear.
Arsenal offered next to nothing, with Martin Dubravka only really tested once, with a 25-yard Mohamed Elneny shot in the second half.
The result means Arsenal must beat Everton in their final game of the season on Sunday and hope Tottenham lose at relegated Norwich.
Nketiah has made 20 league appearances for Arsenal, scored four goals and provided assist in the process.
