Eddie Nketiah (pictured) scored two late goals as Arsenal beat Manchester United 4-0 at Boreham Wood to keep the pressure on Division 1 leaders Liverpool.

Jeff Reine-Adelaide put the Gunners ahead from close range in the 19th-minute and Vlad Dragomir doubled their advantage on the hour mark.

Nketiah, 18, made it 3-0 in the 84th minute and soon after Reiss Nelson set him up for Arsenal's fourth.

The victory moved the Gunners, for whom January signing Konstantinos Mavropanos played 90 minutes on his debut, up to third, four points behind Liverpool.

United remain in the relegation zone, two points adrift of safety.
