Arsenal boss Unai Emery rotated his side for the Europa League clash against FC Vorskla
With the majority of the first-team left at home, Nketiah was given his chance as the central striker
Arsenal took the lead after just 11 minutes, with 18-year-old Emile Smith Rowe scoring his third goal in his sixth appearance for the club
Nketiah had a good chance in the build-up to the goal but his control let him down before Smith Rowe swept home
Despite Arsenal taking the lead, Nketiah was seen on his knees with his head in his hands
And Chelsea Women star and former Arsenal Women winger Karen Carney claimed that showed selfishness from the England under-21 international
"I didn't (like it)," Carney said at half time on BT Sport. "It's a team sport and yes you've missed your chance and with these opportunities you do want to be scoring
"But you've got to be celebrating with your team-mate in getting 1-0 up in the early parts of the game
"For me it was a bit selfish. You can have that disappointment after the game." Arsenal legend Martin Keown was working alongside Carney
He agreed with the England international but says the natural instinct of a striker is to score goals
"It's a strange reaction you have to say," Keown said. "I do agree but you know what strikers are like, they want to be the one that scores the goal
"But at the end of the day it's more important the team win." Arsenal won the game 3-0 in Ukraine thanks to Smith Rowe's goal and one each from Aaron Ramsey and Joe Willock
