Arsenal’s Hale End stars Ethan Nwaneri, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Jack Porter and Josh Nichols created club history at the Emirates Stadium.

Gunners boss Mikel Arteta opted to start the four teenagers for the club’s 5-1 win over Bolton in the Carabao Cup third round clash against Bolton at the Emirates.

And in doing so, the academy graduates created an astonishing first in the Emirates’ 18-year history following the demolition of former ground Highbury.

Incredibly, they have become the first players to feature in a competitive match since the Emirates was opened in July 2006.

The first match to take place there was club legend Dennis Bergkamp’s testimonial between Arsenal and Ajax on July 22.

Just four days later, right-back Nichols was born, with the defender the oldest of the four Hale Enders that were named in Arteta’s line-up against the Trotters.

Starting for his senior debut, Nichols assisted the opener against Bolton, with Declan Rice smashing into the bottom corner after being picked out by the 18-year-old.

And it was 17-year-old Nwaneri, born in March 2007, who doubled Arsenal’s lead after being found by Raheem Sterling unmarked in the box.

It was the midfielder’s first goal for the club – two years after he created Premier League history by becoming the division’s youngest player.

His second came just four minutes after the break, proving why Arsenal fans are desperate to see him start in the top-flight in the near future.

By getting on the score sheet, he has become Arsenal’s fourth youngest scorer – behind only Cesc Fabregas, Jack Wilshere and Arturo Lupoli.

And he is also Arsenal’s youngest player to score twice on their first start in the 21st century.

Lewis-Skelly – fresh from his heated altercation with Manchester City striker Erling Haaland – started at left-back with Arteta a huge fan of his versatility.

Though the 17-year-old, who was born in September 2006, had to be taken off just after the hour mark after picking up a minor knock.

Starting in goal was Porter, who created League Cup history with his outing on Wednesday night.

At just 16 years and 72 days old, he has become the youngest goalkeeper to feature in the competition.

The previous record had stood since 1963 following Martin Townsend’s appearance for Fulham as a 17-year-old.

Unfortunately for Porter, he was unable to keep a clean sheet with Aaron Collins rounding him to reduce Arsenal’s lead from 3-0 to 3-1.

But Arsenal restored their three-goal lead through Raheem Sterling’s first Gunners goal shortly later before Kai Havertz made it 5-1 on 77 minutes.

In total, seven Hale End graduates featured for Arsenal against Bolton, with Bukayo Saka starting on the right wing.

And Arteta brought on defender Maldini Kacurri and forward Ismeal Kabia for their first team debuts.
