Smith Rowe becomes second-youngest player to score for Arsenal

Arsenal youngster Emile Smith Rowe has become the Gunners' second-youngest goalscorer in a competitive fixture after netting in their 3-0 win over Qarabag in the Europa League on Thursday evening.

It is the first competitive goal for Arsenal scored by the 18-year-old, who has been at Arsenal's Hale End Academy since 2010.

His strike against Qarabag makes him the youngest player to score for Arsenal after Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's goal against Olympiakos (aged 18 years and 43 days) in September 2011.

Smith Rowe's strike was the second Arsenal goal scored away in Azerbaijan, following up from Sokratis' opener which also marked his first for the club.
