Arsenal 18yo shares why senior debut was ‘dream come true’
Story updated
The story in brief
6-second readCeadach O'Neill has reacted to his Arsenal first-team debut by revealing that playing for the Gunners is a childhood dream come true.
From the source
Though Tuesday night was a disappointing one for Arsenal, it was largely a positive one for 18-year-old Ceadach O’Neill. The teenager got the chance to make his senior debut for the Gunners from the start, playing 66 minutes of the match.
And he played well, creating three chances with a number of dangerous crosses. Posting on social media the day after the game, O’Neill said he was “grateful”, adding that the debut was a “dream come true”.
To prove that point, he attached a picture of himself as a child, wearing an Arsenal shirt. The photo of O’Neill in the 2012/13 away kit suggests the youngster was supporting the club during a particularly difficult period, at the tail end of the trophy drought under Arsene Wenger.
