Ainsley Maitland-Niles scored an ice-cold penalty during Arsenal's shootout victory over Liverpool on Thursday.
Maitland-Niles easily converted his spot-kick as Arsenal beat Liverpool on penalties to secure a place in the next round of the Carabao Cup.
The England international calmly stepped up and struck a superb penalty as he sent Adrian the wrong way.
He then laughed at the Liverpool keeper as he returned to the half-way line in a ruthless moment.
Not even joking, any game Maitland-Niles plays, he should be our penalty taker. Guy loves it :sob: pic.twitter.com/iLoDA2KlWp

Needless to say, Maitland-Niles' penalty sent social media into overdrive.
One Twitter user wrote: "We need to somehow extract confidence directly from Maitland-Niles veins and inject it into Nicholas Pepe."
A second tweeted: "Has Maitland-Niles ever experienced 'nerves' in his life? I'm seriously starting to doubt it."
A third added: "That smile, that damn smile. Maitland-Niles is something else from 12 yards."
