The Gunners beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 in the Europa League on Thursday night with a teenager the star of the show.
There may be plenty of questions surrounding some of Arsenal’s senior players right now, but the quality of the club’s youngsters is not up for debate.
The conveyor belt of talent being produced at the Gunners’ Hale End academy keeps on churning, and against Eintracht Frankfurt on Thursday night some of Arsenal’s shining young lights helped lift the gloom following Sunday’s capitulation at Watford.
Just as he did last season, Unai Emery used the Europa League as an opportunity to give some youngsters some minutes and they did not disappoint as the Gunners began their European campaign with a much needed 3-0 victory.
Joe Willock and Emile Smith Rowe both started, as did 18-year-old Bukayo Saka, whose only previous start came in this competition last season when he lined up against Qarabag at the Emirates Stadium.
And the trio all impressed during a frenetic encounter at the Commerzbank Arena which easily could have featured far more than three goals scored by the visitors.
