Rob Edwards has hailed Emile Smith Rowe as 'exceptional' after his man of the match performance in Arsenal's 2-0 win over Luton Town.
Smith Rowe set Arsenal on their way for Martin Odegaard's opening strike before providing the 'assist' for their second - a Daiki Hashioka own goal which Reiss Nelson wanted to claim.
It was just his third start of the league season - his fourth in all competitions - but he underlined his quality with a creative display.
Mail Sport's Isaan Khan gave Smith Rowe an 8 in his player ratings for the match.
Edwards said: 'He’s a really good player. I was lucky enough, he probably won’t remember, but I did a few England camps with him at the Under-20s when I was at the FA and I thought he was outstanding.
