ARSENAL signing Marquinhos took just 16 minutes to score on his debut for the club.
The Gunners needed little more than a quarter of an hour to go in front against FC Zurich in their opening Europa League game of the season.
And it was a lovely counter-attacking move which opened the scoring.
Fabio Vieira began the swift transition from inside his own half, playing a long ball across the floor for Eddie Nketiah.
Nketiah then composed himself before sliding a low cross to Marquinhos via a little deflection.
And the Brazilian youngster made no mistake from close range as he coolly tucked away the finish.
