LOAN WATCH: Arsenal starlet Aneke nets Crewe brace

Chuks Aneke was the hero as Crewe Alexandra defeated Sheffield United 3-0 in their League One clash on Saturday.

The 20-year old Arsenal midfielder, who will remain with Crewe for the 2013/14 season, scored twice as the Alex moved further away from the relegation zone.

Aneke opened the scoring for the Railwaymen when he cut inside and curled home a lovely effort in the 37th minute before doubling the advantage when volleying past Blades keeper George Long on the stroke of half-time.

The contest was wrapped up in injury-time when Byron Moore added a third which saw the Crewe bounce back from last weekend's 1-0 defeat at Tranmere Rovers.

Aneke, who has had various loan spells with Crewe since 2012, has now scored seven league goals this season.
