Ethan Nwaneri leads England U21 to a 4–0 victory over Moldova with two assists and a decisive role in winning a crucial penalty.

Ethan Nwaneri inspired England U21 to a commanding 4–0 victory over Moldova, delivering two assists and winning a penalty in a brilliant all-round display during the UEFA U21 European Championship qualifier in Chișinău on 10 October 2025.

The Arsenal midfielder dictated play with composure and creativity, helping the Young Lions secure their second straight win in the competition. While Divin Mubama scored twice, Nwaneri’s influence in midfield was the driving force behind England’s dominance.

Nwaneri’s Brilliant Display

• Two assists: Delivered pinpoint passes that sliced open Moldova’s defence.
• Won a penalty: Drew a foul inside the box, setting up England’s fourth goal.
• Midfield engine: Controlled play with maturity, linking defence and attack seamlessly.

A Star in the Making

At just 18 years old, Ethan Nwaneri continues to impress on the international stage. The Arsenal wonderkid, who was already the Premier League’s youngest-ever debutant at 15 years and 181 days, demonstrated his maturity and skill for England U21.

If he maintains this level, a senior team call-up may soon follow. With his technical brilliance and composure, Nwaneri looks destined to play a major role for both Arsenal and England in the coming years.
