The 18-year-old provided the assist for Arsenal’s equalising goal as the Gunners came from 1-0 to draw (via BBC). The youth product became the youngest player to start a game between the two old foes (via The Sun).
His assist versus the Old Trafford giants was his third in an Arsenal shirt this season, in just his fifth appearance in the first team (via Transfermarkt).
The £6.3m-rated teen scored his first ever goal for the club’s senior side in their 3-0 win away to Eintracht Frankfurt earlier in the season.
Manager Unai Emery was full of praise for his young star following the game, commenting on his ‘improving’ nature every passing day (via The Metro).
Fans took to Twitter as they praised the young winger following his performance in Monday night’s fixture.
Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:
Better than Pepe for sure.

Great player. We need to play him week in week out and get him to film potential – and treat him right, give him a good contract and he will stay at the club. Let’s not do a Ramsey
