Reiss Nelson reveals how he is feeling after stellar performance against Brentford

Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson has expressed his delight after scoring the winning goal for the Gunners in their recent Carabao Cup victory over Brentford. The 23-year-old opened up about his feelings following the match, stating via club official website, “It’s good man, it’s nice to be back out there on the pitch, nice to be starting with some familiar faces, Emile, Eddie. And it was good, a very confident feeling to win, get a goal, and delighted to be in the next round.”

Nelson also provided a detailed account of his goal-scoring moment. He explained how his teammate Eddie Nketiah’s aggressive pressing led to a loose touch from Brentford’s center-back. Nketiah quickly laid off the ball to Nelson, who initially thought the defender would intercept it. However, he continued his movement and managed to slot the ball into the bottom corner of the net.

The victory against Brentford sees Arsenal progress to the next round of the Carabao Cup. Currently sitting in fifth position on the Premier League table with 14 points, Arsenal will now shift their focus to their upcoming league match against Bournemouth at Vitality Stadium on Saturday.
