Mikel Arteta’s wards expectedly went to the match with a very experimental squad, but in the 16th minute, the Gunners confirmed their status as favorites thanks to Declan Rice’s goal.
The Arsenal players did not stop there: even before the break, Gunners’ pupil Ethan Nwaneri doubled the advantage of his native club after an assist by Raheem Sterling, and already at the beginning of the second half, the 17-year-old Englishman responded to Rice’s pass and scored a double.
Although Bolton managed to pull one goal back in the 53rd minute, Arsenal also had the final say in this encounter. First, Raheem Sterling completed his assist with his debut goal in the Gunners shirt, and then substitute Kai Havertz made the final score 5:1 in favor of the Londoners.
Arsenal — Bolton 5:1
Goals: Rice, 16, Nwaneri, 37, 49, Sterling, 64, Havertz, 78 — Collins, 53
