Arsenal fans have been lauding Joe Willock after he scored a goal in the club’s 4-0 win over Standard Liege last night.

The youngster has scored three goals in his last three starts for the club, after also getting goals against Eintracht Frankfurt and Nottingham Forest (via Transfermarkt).

Willock has been one of a number of youth players to have been given a chance in the first team this season after what looks to be a change in policy.

Freddie Ljungberg was promoted from manager of the Under-23s to the first-team coaching staff in the summer, with Steve Bould moving the other way (via The Guardian).

The impact can be seen on the pitch, with Willock, Reiss Nelson, Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe all making two starts or more in all competitions for the club this campaign.

Arsenal fans were lauding their upcoming midfield star after his goal last night as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from Gooners:
