Emile Smith-Rowe first burst onto the scene, in late 2018, when he became the club’s second-youngest goalscorer after finding the net against Qarabag in the Europa League. His all-action performance was praised by Unai Emery, and a number of Arsenal fans took to social media to express their excitement at the prospect of the then-teenager breaking into the first team over the coming months. However, despite his energetic display, and a number of promising appearances in pre-season, things have gone a little quiet in recent months, and he is yet to play a single minute of top flight football this season.

Arsenal superstar Mesut Ozil, who hasn’t seen a minute of playing time since March 7, has hit back at his club for leaving him out of their Premier League squad registration. Also left out of the club’s Europa League squad list, there is simply just no place for him right now at the north London club.
Ozil, who has been provided at least one escape route, via a club in Saudi Arabia, is intent on staying put seeing through the completion of his contract, which pays him £350,000-a-week. That’s good work, if you can get it, all that money, just to train.

If you believe in karma, and you watched yesterday’s 3-3 draw with Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, plus the Jose Mourinho media session to preview that match, well you might believe that karmic allegiance was with Mourinho’s long-time arch-nemesis Arsene Wenger.
First, let’s recap the game- Mourinho’s Tottenham side raced out to a very early 3-0 lead, scoring their trifecta within the first 16 minutes of action. Cruising towards what seemed like an easy three points, they held a clean sheet until the 82nd minute, when West Ham’s Fabian Balbuena got the Irons finally on the board.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta questioned the way VAR handled a penalty situation in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester City today, according to Sky Sports (via Goal).
The North London club put up a brave fight, but were not able to find the back of the net. This was in large part due to the impressive performance of City keeper Ederson, but the game still could have gone in a very different direction had VAR checked a particular incident.
