I felt like crying when I saw Him playing for another Club yesterday,This guy heart was with Arsenal but the board decided to sell Him due to their own interest and now we’re missing Him” , William Saliba discusses the only one transfer blunder that Arteta made that they regret now.

Arsenal had a highly successful evening at Villa Park on Saturday, delivering a performance that helped to address the disappointments of last season against Unai Emery’s Aston Villa. Under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, the team put on a display that, while not flawless, exuded the qualities of a potential title-winning side.

Though Arsenal are careful not to get ahead of themselves, given their history of impressive wins over the past two seasons, this victory is still one worth celebrating. Last season, the Gunners failed to earn even a single point against Emery’s Villa, but this time they took all three points, largely thanks to the impact of Leandro Trossard, who came on as a substitute.

Trossard, however, was quick to shift the spotlight to goalkeeper David Raya after the match, praising him for making several crucial saves that kept Arsenal in the game. One save, in particular, left Gary Neville astonished and is likely to remain etched in the memories of Arsenal fans for a long time.

But even as Arsenal fans revel in this victory, there’s another name on their minds—Emile Smith Rowe, a beloved former Gunner who was not involved in the match at Villa Park. Despite leaving the club this summer, Smith Rowe continues to hold a special place in the hearts of Arsenal supporters.

Smith Rowe made headlines over the weekend by scoring his first official goal for Fulham in their 2-1 victory over Leicester City. Although he had found the net during pre-season, this goal at Craven Cottage marked his first in a competitive match for his new club. His game concluded just before Arsenal kicked off, and it’s possible that Smith Rowe even watched his former team secure their 2-0 win.

The deep connection between Smith Rowe and Arsenal’s current squad was evident on social media after his goal. Despite his departure from the club for £34 million this summer, Smith Rowe remains incredibly popular among his former teammates, as shown by the enthusiastic responses from players like William Saliba and Bukayo Saka on his Instagram post. In the post, Smith Rowe shared a photo celebrating his goal, expressing his happiness and determination to build on this success.

For Arsenal fans, it was a weekend to remember, with both a solid win for their team and a goal from a former fan favorite. However, Mikel Arteta will soon have his squad refocused on the challenges ahead, with tough matches against Brighton & Hove Albion and Tottenham Hotspur on the horizon.
