That John Stones’ late equalizer in the last Premier League derby on Sunday is filed under a distant past as far as Arsenal are concerned.The Gunners have definitely moved on and proved that on Wednesday night at Emirates by battering Bolton Wanderers 5-1 in the EFL Cup third-round tie.Ethan Nwaneri’s brace will definitely go down as the most significant moment of the match, as the 17-year-old scored his first senior goals for the North Londoners.NWANERI SCORES HIS FIRST SENIOR GOAL pic.twitter.com/M8DyCOhG9T— ArsenalComps (@ArsenaIComps) September 25, 2024 🚨🏴 GOAL | Arsenal 2-0 Bolton | NwaneriNWANERI DOUBLES THE LEAD FOR ARSENAL!pic.twitter.com/3VvFPjpYHq— Tekkers Foot (@tekkersfoot) September 25, 2024 Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta made a few changes to his side after the Manchester City tie in the Premier League, opting for a Calafiori-Kiwior centre-back duo and teenager Josh Nichols as right-back. Nichols himself delivered a low ball from the right-hand side in the 16th minute, dropping it for Declan Rice, who set himself and calmly curled home his first of the season.The Gunners were close to doubling the lead ten minutes later as Raheem Sterling crossed it to Bukayo Saka. He chested it down for Gabriel Jesus, and his lovely overhead kick went just wide of the mark.If they weren’t in full control of the game by that time, it changed soon. The hosts caught Bolton sleeping as young Myles Lewis-Skelly played a gorgeous ball down the left for Sterling, who squared it to the six-yard box. Nwaneri found himself there just on time for the Arsenal’s second and his maiden Gunners’ goal.##EDITORS_CHOICE##The talented boy sealed his brace soon after the restart. The EFL Championship side played a bit risky out from the back, confronted with Arsenal’s high press, and paid the price for it. Rice seized the ball from them and passed it to Nwaneri. His cool finish made it 3-0.The underdogs, however, managed to peg one back out of nowhere through Collins before Sterling cleared the ear with his team’s fourth goal of the game and his first in the red and white shirt. It was an easy tap-in, especially for the player of Sterling’s ilk.🚨 Raheem Sterling’s first goal for Arsenal ❤️pic.twitter.com/jFNO2vH2FZ— Gooner Chris (@ArsenalN7) September 25, 2024 Finally, Kai Havertz came on in the second half, as Arteta wanted his forward to make the most of this opportunity and get his goal-scoring mojo back on track. The German international found the back of the net after just 15 minutes, putting the cherry on the top of this routine win.ELF CUP ROUND 3TuesdayChelsea – Barrow 5-0 (3-0)/Nkunku 8, 15, Farman 28 og, Neto 48/Man City – Watford 2-1 (2-0)/Doku 5, Nunes 38 – Ince 86/Walsall – Leicester 0-0 (0-3 on pen)Wycombe – Aston Villa 1-2 (0-0)/Kone 90+5 – Buendia 55, Duran 85 pen/WednesdayArsenal – Bolton 5-1 (2-0)/Rice 16, Nwaneri 37, 49, Sterling 64, Havertz 77 – Collins 53/Liverpool – West Ham 5-1 (1-1)/Jota 25,49, Salah 74, Gakpo 90+1, 90+4 – Quansah 21 og/
