Arsenal  youngster Emile Smith Rowe has been warned to keep his feet on the ground by boss Unai Emery.

The 18-year-old scored the Gunners’ second goal in their 3-0 Europa League over Qarabag FK last night.

In doing so he became the first Arsenal goalscorer to have been born after the millennium.

The future looks right for Smith Rowe who joined Arsenal’s Hale End Academy in 2010 at the age of ten.

Emery has hailed Emile Smith Rowe’s “humble” mentality but warned him to not get caught in his own hype.

The Arsenal manager said, “Every player needs to feel that they have the option to play with us, especially players from the academy. Smith Rowe worked well with us in pre-season and knows how we play. He is very humble and wants to continue improving with us. The quality he has physically and mentally. He also has quality in his right foot, with working in attacking moments with any player.”

Emery continued, “If I say one condition, I say his mentality. He is humble, he listens every day in training, in video analysis and before every match. The last match he played against Brentford he had three actions in the opposition box and didn’t score, today he had two and scored one. But I prefer to not to speak a lot about him, I want him to stay humble and keep his feet on the ground.”

 

Emery has now led  Arsenal to eight consecutive wins in all competitions.

The Emirates outfit will look to keep their streak going when they take on fellow Londoners Fulham on Sunday.

Goalkeeper Bernd Leno was particularly impressive as the gunners kept their third clean sheet in four games in Azerbaijan.

Sokratis opened the scoring and Matteo Guendouzi completed it, both players scoring their first goals for the club.
