Rob Holding has set himself the target of five goals this season after bagging his first for the club in their 4-2 win over BATE Borisov.
After a brace from Theo Walcott put the Gunners two up, Holding was in the right place at the right time to tap home from a corner and net his first competitive goal since joining from Bolton last summer.
Speaking to the Arsenal website, Holding said: “It’s a proud moment to score my first competitive goal.
“I got one against Chivas last year on the tour, so to get my first competitive one I’m over the moon and the celebration showed it.

“I’ve been feeling my own pressure to score my first goal. I’m due a goal and to get that now, hopefully I can go on and get some more.”
The 22-year-old, who managed just one in his time at Bolton, added that he’s set himself the target of five goals this season.
“I like to say five plus is a good return for a centre-half,” he continued.
“I aim for that and if I get more than that then I’ll be more than happy.”
