3. Finally an Emile Smith Rowe sighting
It was a sight for sore eyes to see Smith Rowe come on in the 69th minute. The midfielder got some much-needed game time against Palace.
The way Smith Rowe constantly took the ball on the half turn was a joy to watch and seeing him operate in the midfield is soemthing that fans will no doubt want to see more of.
Love watching Emile Smith Rowe play. The way he takes the ball on the half turn/let’s it roll across his body is a quality this team needs. Some lovely ball carries today. Hope he gets more minutes.

It was a small cameo of 20 minutes, but we hope that this is the start of Arteta giving Smith Rowe consistent minutes in the first team.
