Arsenal may have finally found a worthy successor to Henry in Nketiah

The FC crew discuss Arsenal's inconsistency.
This article has been updated and originally appeared on ESPN FC on March 28, 2017.
The Emirates has a new darling after Eddie Nketiah announced his arrival on the big stage with two goals against in the Carabao Cup against Norwich on Tuesday.

Squirrel pitch invader gives Man City ground staff the runaround

It's perhaps fair to suggest that Manchester City's long-winded Carabao Cup victory over Wolves wasn't the most enthralling spectacle, so it's little wonder that a mischievous pitch invader grabbed all the attention.
Indeed, a rogue squirrel found its way inside the Etihad Stadium and duly made its presence known, toying with ground staff before kick-off.

The squirrel went scampering across the turf as the City players were warming up, nimbly evading capture at every turn.

Saul Niguez: I'm 'sorry' Atletico Madrid will knock Elche out of Copa del Rey

Despite going four games without a win, Diego Simeone is confident Atletico have the fortitude to bounce back at Celta Vigo.

        With Atleti still winless after three games in the UCL, Sid Lowe shares his diagnosis for what's causing their struggles.

Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez has warned friends and family that his team are serious about winning the Copa del Rey this year as he prepares for a meeting with hometown club Elche in the round of 32.
Saul is a lifelong supporter of Elche, where his father Jose Antonio played as a striker from 1981-88, but Los Franjiverdes have slipped down to the third tier following a forced relegation for financial issues in 2015.
