Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has lauded Raheem Sterling's development following the forward's first goal for the club in their emphatic 5-1 victory over Bolton Wanderers in the Carabao Cup.
The match, held at the Emirates Stadium, saw Arsenal advance to the fourth round with a blend of youth and experience. Declan Rice opened the scoring in the 15th minute, setting the tone for the evening. Youngster Ethan Nwaneri then doubled the lead in the 36th minute and added another goal shortly after halftime, showcasing his potential and earning the adoration of the home crowd.
Bolton managed to pull one back through Aaron Collins in the 52nd minute, but their hopes of a comeback were short-lived. Raheem Sterling, making his first start for Arsenal, found the net in the 63rd minute, marking a significant milestone in his career with the Gunners. Kai Havertz sealed the comprehensive win with a goal in the 77th minute.
Arteta expressed his satisfaction with the team's performance, particularly highlighting Sterling's contribution. "Raheem has been working incredibly hard, and it's great to see him get his first goal for us. His progress has been impressive, and tonight's performance is a testament to his dedication," Arteta said.
