Gary Neville was left baffled by Arsenal star Eddie Nketiah after he failed to capitalise on a golden opportunity in the North London Derby. The striker should have been more alert to finish a corner routine which would have put his side 3-2 ahead against Tottenham.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nketiah was positioned at the back post as a right-wing corner made its way towards goal. The 23-year-old should have darted closer towards the six-yard box to be in a position to convert the cross.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, Nketiah was too slow and rather than be ready for a tap-in, he was positioned behind Pedro Porro. Neville could not believe that Nketiah lacked the anticipation to be in the correct position to score.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The former Manchester United defender said on Sky Sports’ commentary: \u201cNketiah has to be there, why is he not at the back post? It reminds me of Ian Wright, that was his old position, that\u2019s such a big chance.<\/p>\n
“How does he not smell, sniff, anticipate that one? He\u2019s got to be there, that\u2019s his job. Look at him, he has got to be flying at that back post and he\u2019s late.\u201d<\/p>\n
Nketiah should have been ready to pounce to give Arsenal a stunning 3-2 victory on Sunday’s North London Derby. Instead, his side were forced to settle for a frustrating point agains their local rivals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Arsenal twice went ahead, first through Cristian Romero’s own goal and then Bukayo Saka’s penalty. But Son Heung-min’s brace secured a point for Spurs, who will be far happier with the draw than their opponents.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nketiah was handed a rare start in an attacking line-up named by boss Mikel Arteta. Injuries to Leandro Trossard and Gabriel Martinelli meant that Gabriel Jesus shifted to the left of a three-man attack, with Nketiah leading the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
