Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta wants the fans to show patience with youngster Charlie Patino.
The youth talent came on for the Gunners in the Carabao Cup quarter-final against Sunderland on Tuesday.
Patino netted the fifth goal in a 5-1 win ten minutes fater coming onto the pitch.
"A beautiful moment," Arteta said post-game, per the club website.
"He is a kid that is coming through our system, a lovely kid. He is training with us almost every week. It was a dream. As a debut to come here, to score in front of our fans, a really special moment.
"I think that is very positive [that the fans were singing his name]. They heard about him and know what he can become and now we have to cook him slowly. Today was a good start, I think.
"[Too much hype around him] is what we have to avoid. He still has a lot of competition in front of him. He is really young. And he needs to go step by step. Today he was lucky, he got the opportunity and he took it really well."
