Ian Wright told Premier League Productions on Optus Sport that Tottenham were ‘run ragged’ by Arsenal star Emile Smith Rowe on Sunday.
The 20-year-old was one of the star performers as Arsenal won the bragging rights in North London over the weekend.
After coming through the ranks of Arsenal and being a boyhood fan, it would have been some feeling for Smith Rowe when the final whistle was blown.
Nonetheless, ex-Highbury hero, Wright, shared that the only thing Smith Rowe didn’t do was find the back of the net.
“The only thing that Emile Smith Rowe hasn’t done in the game is nick the goal that he has deserved,” said Wright.
“To be honest, he has run them ragged. When you can get the ball into Odegaard, Emile Smith Rowe and Partey, they always try to progress it.”
Arsenal started the season with all the talk being about Mesut Ozil and how he had been left out of the club’s Premier League’s 25-man squad.
Added with that, some fans were annoyed at the club for not bringing in a creative talent because they felt it was much-needed in the middle of the park.
But little did Arsenal fans know that their answer to their creative troubles was staring them in the face.
