Great to see Arteta trust Smith Rowe with the central role, and Kiwior at centre back.

Declan Rice is making a huge difference every week. Beginning to look a bit of a bargain
Rice is just getting better and better, absolute bargain at £105m.

Raya will also have been delighted with that match. Nothing difficult to do, all very regulation.
