Arsenal 3-0 Newcastle United: Arteta Heaps Praise On Two Players

Mikel Arteta appreciates the contributions made by Emile Smith Rowe and Bukayo Saka in their 3-0 over Newcastle on Monday, saying it has put a ‘smile on my face’.

The Arsenal Youngsters were instrumental in Monday’s 3-0 win over Newcastle United, with Smith Rowe setting up Saka for Arsenal’s second goal.

“I know what they are capable of doing,” Arteta said after the game. “They put a smile on my face.

“That is merit to them and their team-mates. Their performances were extraodinary. The expectation will be high with them so we have to take them through the right path.

“It’s a mixture of energy, passion and a little bit of immaturity at times which is good as you don’t play as tense. They did really well.”
