Oleksandr Zinchenko comforts Emile Smith Rowe following Arsenal’s victory over Bournemouth
With a 4-0 victory over Bournemouth, Arsenal maintained their lead over the competition in the Premier League, but Emile Smith Rowe was visibly disappointed as he departed the field.

At the Vitality Stadium, goals from Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, Ben White, and Kai Havertz—his first since moving to Arsenal from Chelsea in a £65 million move in the summer—sealed a well-earned victory for Mikel Arteta’s team.

Earlier this week, Smith Rowe received his first start in 499 days for Arsenal’s Carabao Cup victory over Brentford.

The 23-year-old entered the game against Bournemouth as a late substitution and had a great opportunity to give Arsenal a 5-0 lead in stoppage time, but Neto made a superb save to keep it that way.

Smith Rowe was comforted by Oleksandr Zinchenko and Arsenal assistant coach Albert Stuivenberg following the game, but it was clear that he was disappointed with his failure to score.

Smith Rowe stated this week that he needed to alter his mindset if he wanted to play regularly for Arsenal under Arteta.

We are aware of the intense competition because we are at a major club like Arsenal, Smith Rowe stated.

It will always be difficult to secure your position on the squad, and it will be challenging. I just need to keep having faith in myself.

I had to maintain my mental fortitude and work to maintain as much positivity as I could after returning but not quite fitting back into the team.

“The gaffer has really helped me with that,” the speaker said. He was supporting me during my injury and frequently pulled me aside for discussions about how I could get psychologically stronger, etc.
