Eddie Nketiah opens up on Dani Ceballos bust-up after late winner for Arsenal against West Ham

Eddie Nktiah has opened up on his bust-up with Dani Ceballos after the two combined to score the winner for Arsenal against West Ham.

The Gunners came away with a 2-1 win from the Emirates after Nektiah scored late on from a Ceballos assist.

Alexandre Lacazette had put Mikel Arteta's side ahead, only for Michail Antonio to equalise on the stroke of half time.

Nektiah scored with practically his first touch after being introduced from the bench and his late winner was laid on by a man who he was separated for last weekend.

The pair almost came to blows during a training drill in the warm-up against Fulham before their teammates had to come in and separate them.

However, Nektiah explained that the pair made friends instantly and were in perfect harmony on the field after linking up for a crucial goal that secured three points.

"You know, there was a bit of a coming together, I was a bit upset with the challenge he put in," Nketiah told Sky Sports

"The reaction was there but we made up pretty quickly, he apologised. You have to get on with it, that's what happens in life.

"It was nice for him to make the assists for me tonight, it's all love now.

"It was a great pass from him and great vision. I just had to make sure I stayed onside and the finish was easy from there. It was a great ball from Dani."
