Arsenal youngster Emile Smith Rowe has singled out three dressing room leaders after the Gunners dazzled in a 3-1 home victory over Aston Villa on Friday evening. The midfielder-turned-winer notched a goal and an assist to play a pivotal role in the result, drawing plaudits from those watching on for his vibrant and effective display.
Thomas Partey and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joined Smith Rowe on the scoresheet as the Gunners spent most of the encounter in cruise control.
Granted, Villa did pile on the pressure towards the end of the game after a superb Jacob Ramsey strike, but Arteta’s side were never truly threatened for the three points.
After the game, a gleeful Smith Rowe claimed that Aubameyang, Ben White and Gabriel are three of the key dressing room leaders to spur on the Gunners.
While the first name may come as no surprise, citing an emerging centre-back duo might do given their young age and relatively short careers at the Emirates.
