Izan walked away from the spot with his arms raised in quiet celebration, his grin wide, almost playful.
He had made his mark. A goal in his first Premier League match, yes, but the way he had scored it — with that touch of audacity, that flair — made the moment even more unforgettable.
"Welcome to the Premier League, Izan," Mowbray concluded, his voice brimming with respect.
"What a way to announce yourself. It's a debut to remember. Welcome to the Premier League, young man."
The crowd continued to roar, the power of Izan's first goal resonating through the stands as Arsenal took the lead.
As the players jogged back to the halfway line, grinning and exchanging high-fives with Izan, the manager's voice cut through the electric atmosphere.
"Good! Good!" Arteta barked, clapping his hands once.
"But don't lose your heads! That's just one — we keep playing! Keep the pressure, keep the rhythm!"
