Arsenal ace Emile Smith Rowe has been praised by Jamie Carragher, who admits he hopes the Gunners gem scores every time he watches him play.

The 21-year-old Arsenal star has enjoyed a remarkable international break which culminated in his first Three Lions caps and goal.

Smith Rowe was initially set to play for the England Under-21s in November.

However, was promoted to the seniors following a number of player withdrawals, and he took his chance superbly.

Smith Rowe made his England bow off the bench in the World Cup qualifying win over Albania last Friday.

And the following Monday, Southgate handed the Arsenal gem his first start for the Three Lions, in the trip to San Marino.

Smith Rowe easily picked spaces in the opposition defence, made some great runs and combined well with fellow Gunner Bukayo Saka.

He got himself on the scoresheet in the 57th minute, rolling home after Tammy Abraham flicked Saka’s cross into his path.

Smith Rowe also set up Harry Kane’s second earlier on in the game, combining well with Kalvin Phillips to cross home for the Spurs man.

Speaking on the Ringer FC Podcast, Carragher praised both Smith Rowe and Saka.

I love Saka, I love Smith Rowe and when you like someone and you do the job I do, when you go to a game you hope they do well and you hope they win,” he said.

“I was glad Emile Smith Rowe got on the scoresheet for England.

“I really like watching him play, and when I watch him play I hope he scores because I really enjoy him.”
