According to Arsenal Insider, the former Arsenal star said, “He has that ability to take the ball and take the game by the scruff of its neck, able to drive us up the pitch.
“So when he was doing that I just made sure that I’m an option and when he found me it was all about, literally I was just trying to get into the box and there was a space and when I got into the box, [it was about] making sure I kept composed.

“Obviously I know Jordan (Pickford) quite well, he doesn’t know that I like to go near post so yeah I was able to get that goal.”
Smith Rowe now has four-goal contributions for Fulham in his first nine appearances for his new club.
