Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah was the hero for the Gunners against Sheffield United on Saturday, stepping up in the injury absence of Gabriel Jesus.

The 24-year-old scored his first Premier League hat-trick on the day, with three very well-taken goals.

As a result, it was no surprise to see Garth Crooks include the striker in his BBC Team of the Week, with the pundit praising Nketiah’s “impressive hat-trick”.

Crooks wasn’t getting carried away with the goals, highlighting that this was a Sheffield United side “ravaged by injury and lacking in know-how”.

The BBC man added that Nketiah’s hat-trick hasn’t changed his view that Arsenal require a clinical striker if they want to steal the title from Manchester City, but he conceded “[Nketiah’s] third goal was a fabulous strike”.

Elsewhere, WhoScored also included Nketiah in their Team of the Week.
