Joe Willock also got himself on the scoresheet with a neat finish in the dying seconds of the game.
“I’m really happy but last year in small moments when we could give him chances to be on the pitch he did very well,” he said.
“His progress can confirm, we want progress with every player.
Emery says he will give Nketiah game time this season
“He has a very good attitude and they need experience, minutes and confidence. The young energy is very important.
In response to Nketiah being afforded more game time this season, Emery added:
“Aubameyang plays some time on the wing,” he said. “Last year we had Lacazette, Aubameyang and Welbeck. They had space to play.
“We want to give the chances to Nketiah. Every young player if they deserve to be here we’ll help them.”
