Eddie Nketiah nets hat-trick in Arsenal's pre-season win over Ipswich

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Eddie Nketiah is up and running as he bagged a hat trick for Arsenal in a preseason friendly against lower-tier side Ipswich Town.

Nketiah, who was assigned the iconic No.14 jersey after he penned a new deal with the Gunners, proved he is more than capable of filling the big shoes of Aubameyang as Arsenal's leading marksman.

Eddie's treble and solitary strikes from Belgian midfielder Sambi Lokonga and Folarin Balogun were enough to hand Mikel Arteta's charges a comfortable 5-1 win in their first outing in preseason.
