Top Ghanaian musician, Shatta Wale has congratulated Arsenal striker, Eddie Nketiah, after scoring his first English Premier League hat-trick in the victory over Sheffield United.

"Great things happen to great people- Congrats on your hat-trick yesterday Eddie Nketiah at the Emirates stadium. Nobody saw it. Incoming . For once you’ve never doubt yourself Charlie You are born Great keep shining," wrote Shatte Wale on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Fabio Vieira and Takehiro Tomiyasu added two late goals for the Gunners at the Emirates on Saturday afternoon.

Arsenal remain unbeaten this season as the quest to win the English Premier League continues.

Meanwhile, Nketiah expressed delight after his performance but also dedicated the hat-trick to his late aunt.

“To do it at Emirates Stadium, in the Premier League, in front of my family and friends is an amazing feeling,” he said, as quoted by arsenal.com.
“I lost my aunt not too long ago and I just want to dedicate that to her and her family.
“I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dreamt of this moment - to get three goals in a Premier League [match]. I’m a childhood supporter of the club, so to do it in front of the fans, my friends, my family and my team-mates is an amazing feeling. It’s a day I’ll remember forever.”

Despite making his England debut against Australia, Nketiah remains eligible to play for the Black Stars of Ghana.

Arsenal thump Sheffield United at Emirates

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Eddie Nketiah was the man of the moment on Saturday, October 28, as Arsenal demolished Sheffield United at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners went into the tie with the hope of bouncing back to winning ways in the Premier League following last week's 2-2 draw against rivals Chelsea in the London derby.

Mike Arteta named a strong side for the Blades clash, Emile Smith Rowe starting in the middle of the park alongside Bukayo Saka, who skippered the side.
