A few Leeds United fans have commented on a post from Eddie Nketiah after he played 85 minutes (Bottom of the page) in Arsenal’s 4-0 win over Newcastle United.
The 20-year-old made his first league start since the Gunners recalled him from Elland Road earlier in the season.
Do you want to see Nketiah do well for Arsenal?
Yes
No
Nketiah earned himself a 6.92 rating from WhoScored for his display against the Toon and could have scored but saw his effort clip the crossbar rather than end up in the back of the net. (0:52)
This tweet drew a lot of replies from many Arsenal fans and a few from some Leeds fans.
Back to winning ways! Great performance from the team, matched by the support of the fans. Happy to mark my first PL start with 3 points. God is good! @Arsenal pic.twitter.com/GEx53fRX1W

What do we think?
Nketiah, who is valued at £7.2m by Transfermarkt, made 19 appearances for Marcelo Bielsa’s side in the first half of the season, but only two of them were starts in the league.
This led to the Gunners ending the 20-year-old’s loan spell, and the initial plan was to send him back out, but Mikel Arteta decided to keep him and has played him in four matches.
In that time, he has scored one goal taking his tally to six for the season if you include the five, he scored for the Whites.
