Arsenal youngster Emile Smith-Rowe scored an emphatic half-volley for England U21s.
Smith-Rowe may count himself unlucky not to have been called up to the latest England senior squad, but he’s certainly given Gareth Southgate something to think about with his well-taken goal.
The Arsenal man latched onto a rebound just inside the box, powering the ball into the top corner.

Smith-Rowe is unfortunate that the England senior squad has an array of talent in a similar position to himself, but all he can do is perform for the youth sides and prove to Southgate that he deserves a chance.
