Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was left impressed by Jakub Kiwior's performance for the Under-21s on Monday night as the Spaniard weighs up whether to include him in his squad against Everton. Emile Smith Rowe lined up alongside the Polish centre-back as they both continue to build up their match fitness ahead of a congested fixture list in March.
Both Smith Rowe and Kiwior were withdrawn from action at half-time after putting in strong performances meaning it is likely they will be involved in some capacity against the Toffees on Wednesday night. The January signing in particular gave an impressive display, with his composure on the ball and range of passing leaving supporters stunned by his talent.
The young Gunners dominated most of the match with Smith Rowe going close to scoring twice. Following the change at half-time, Arsenal fell to a 1-0 defeat as their control over the game fell away.
