Nketiah brought down Joe Olowu’s long clearance and raced clear of two defenders, but Nathan Trott held on to his left-footed drive to deny the Ghanaian the opener.
After another fast attacking move, Nelson collected the ball on the left-hand side of the box and created a yard of space with some neat footwork before firing hard into the bottom corner to break the virginity of the game.
Nketiah slammed home at the near post for his first and Arsenal's second when Tolaji Bola broke down the left flank with pace and power, and sent in a decent cross.
