The pinnacle of Reiss Nelson's Arsenal career came in the 97th-minute of a Premier League fixture at home to Bournemouth in March 2023.
A still from above captures the moment perfectly. The contrasting emotions of Nelson and his team-mates congregating in celebration while the visitors drop to their knees in despair.
It was a moment 15 years in the making; a journey beginning as an eight-year-old first stepping foot in the club's world renowned Hale End Academy and culminating as one of its most prized assets.
The goal was eye-catching. He could have rushed the shot after controlling the ball on the edge of the area, but even with players sprinting towards him, he maintained his composure to rifle a left-footed strike past Neto.
Pandemonium ensued at the Emirates Stadium. Nelson had no time to celebrate before being surrounded by team-mates as a goal and assist helped overturn a two-goal deficit in north London to earn a 3-2 win.
It was a game-changing performance as a 69th-minute substitute that those well versed with his talent will know he is capable of, but something seen infrequently as injuries and instability has seen his career plateau.
Since making his debut as a 17-year-old in the 2017 Community Shield against Chelsea, Nelson has played an approximate 3,480 minutes for the club - the equivalent of 39 matches - across 90 appearances.
While he has contributed eight goals and nine assists across domestic and European competitions, including in the Champions League and Europa League, he has been usurped by Hale End's next generations.
Brentford secured the signing of Nelson on a season-long on Deadline Day, with a reported option to buy, and handed him the number 11 shirt after the £50 million plus add-ons departure of Yoane Wissa.
It is the fourth loan move of Nelson's career, each of which completed in the final days of the summer transfer window and leaving him in a position of playing catch-up as he adapts to a new environment.
The most successful of the previous three came at Feyenoord in 2021/22 under now Liverpool and **Premier League**-winning head coach Arne Slot, where the then 22-year-old became a key player on the wings.
His time at De Kuip saw him register four goals and seven assists in 33 appearances, and start all seven knockout-stage fixtures in the Europa Conference League, including the 1-0 final defeat to Roma.
Nelson thrived in the Eredivisie as he had much-needed game time and was able to learn more about attacking movement and finishing from then Under-16s coach Robin van Persie, who has 144 Premier League goals from him time at Arsenal and Manchester United.
He excelled on the ball, averaging 4.65 shot-creating actions per 90, 6.03 progressive carries, and 2.77 successful take-ons, as per FBref - statistics that placed him in the upper percentile of the division's attacking midfielders and wingers.
The south Londoner's ability to draw in defenders before evading them with clever footwork and/or a burst of acceleration made him difficult to contend with, and he had the final product to match.
Even on loan at Fulham last season, which ended prematurely due to a severe hamstring injury in December, his on-the-ball numbers ranked him high in the Premier League, albeit from a sample size of 486 minutes.
6.86 progressive passes were made per 90, 8.27 progressive carries completed, 2.39 successful take-ons, and, 5.69 shot-creating actions - a snippet of what he is capable of when fit and has a run of games.
In comparison, Kevin Schade, who Nelson will be competing with for a place on the left wing, produced 1.49 progressive passes, 2.39 progressive carries, 1.18 successful take-ons, and 2.24 shot-creating actions per 90.
Nelson's arrival at Brentford offers a different dynamic that will benefit Andrews' side as the Bees seek to find a balance between defensive stability and attacking fluency, which, so far, has alluded them.
The 25-year-old is capable of influencing games with the ball at his feet, combining with team-mates in wide and central areas, progressing the ball from deep, and has the ability to create scoring opportunities.
His signing does come with reservations, and understandably so, as he has missed 98 matches in his career owing to injury, as per Transfermarkt's data, and had restricted game time over the past three years.
However, if he has an uninterrupted year then Brentford have someone that will not only have a big impact in the final third but one that is willing to be selfless and put in the defensive work.
Before Bukayo Saka, Reiss Nelson was the crown jewel of Hale End. If Brentford can maintain his fitness successfully this season then Keith Andrews will have a very talented player at his disposal.
