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.

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.
