ISAAN KHAN: Emile Smith Rowe added attacking flair, offers a different option to Kai Havertz and will hope a rare audition in Arsenal's win against Nottingham Forest can reboot career

It only takes open ears at the Emirates when Emile Smith Rowe comes off the bench to see his stature among the Arsenal faithful.

Those scant appearances here and there, having only played 25 minutes-plus once in the league this season, are often incidental.

But not to the supporters, roaring louder than per for their man who has plied his way at the north London club since the age of 10.

The setbacks in a young career which has both soared and stagnated in recent years made on Tuesday night against Nottingham Forest a rare audition — only his second league start since May 2022.
