Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah explained giving up his penalty to Fabio Vieira in victory over Sheffield United.

Nketiah, after his hat-trick, could've scored four on the day.

But he explained: I was going to take it - I wanted to take it. I always want to get more goals.

Fabio [Vieira] came to me and he wanted to take it. He won the penalty as well.

"He's expecting a little one and it was a really good moment for him to get on the scoresheet and dedicate it.

I'm a team player - I'd scored a hat-trick and I could allow other players to get in on the act. He took the penalty and scored, so we're happy."
