Arsenal midfielder Willock delighted for Nketiah over comeback goal

Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock is delighted for Eddie Nketiah after he scored in their FA Cup win over Bournemouth.

Nketiah made his mark with a goal on his first start for the club since returning from Leeds United.

Having made their way through the ranks together, Willock can see a first team future together on the horizon.

"Eddie's probably one of my closest friends," said Willock. "To play with him on a big stage like this is amazing.

"We've been through so many tribulations together and we've always tried to keep each other's heads up. To see him score is like me scoring, I'm so happy for him. I'm buzzing.

"It's not impossible you know. We're all thriving, we've all got good ability and we're all hungry to work hard and try to play. I feel like eventually it will happen, hopefully it will."
