Marquinhos kicked off his Arsenal career in style as he scored one goal and set up another in his team’s 2–1 win at FC Zurich in their Europa League Group A opener on Sept. 8.

The 19-year-old Brazilian, who joined from Sao Paulo in the close season, opened the scoring and set up Eddie Nketiah for the winner after Mirling Kryeziu’s equalizer with a penalty.
