Emile Smith Rowe breaks Arsenal record in Europa League win

Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe made club history in last night's Europa League win against Vorskla Poltava.

Smith Rowe replaced Alex Iwobi in the 70th minute of the 4-2 Europa League win.

Midfield ace Smith Rowe, who was 18 years, one month and 23 days old yesterday, put in a solid performance and helped the Gunners see out the game.
