Watch Arsenal star Karl Hein’s howler to give away penalty on debut after Nketiah & Nelson combine for sensational goal

ARSENAL youngster Karl Hein had a debut to forget as he slipped to give away a penalty in Wednesday’s Carabao Cup clash against Brighton.

That’s minutes after the Gunners stormed into the lead thanks to Eddie Nketiah and Reiss Nelson’s fine combination.

And it took Nketiah just 20 minutes to fire Arsenal ahead with a sublime curled effort, having been played in by Nelson following a terrific dribble by the winger.

Gunners fans rejoiced as their heavily-changed team look to press home their advantage against Roberto De Zerbi’s side.

But things quickly took a turn for Mikel Arteta’s title chasers as Hein committed a cardinal sin on the field.

As Brighton sliced Arsenal’s backline apart with a long ball from deep, Hein was caught out in a bad way.

Attempting to quickly move forward, he instead slipped and fell to the ground.

The Estonian, on loan at Reading last season, then scrambled up to reach a hand out as Danny Welbeck charged towards goal.

But in doing so, Hein instead wrapped his arm around the ex-Gooner’s legs, dragging him to the ground and giving away a spot-kick.

One declared: “Yikes, poor guy.”;
