CHELSEA legend John Terry has singled out Arsenal wonderkid Emile Smith Rowe for praise.
The Gunners were easily beaten 2-0 by their London rivals at Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
But, watching on telly at home, Blues icon Terry was impressed with at least one Arsenal star.
Accompanying a picture of the game on his TV, the 40-year-old wrote: “@EmileSmithRowe is a player.”
He followed the caption with three clapping emojis.
Smith Rowe, 21, was rewarded for his impressive displays last year with the No10 shirt this term.
But even the skilful midfielder was unable to stop Arsenal slumping to another defeat.
Romelu Lukaku played a big part in the result, scoring the first goal and bullying hapless Gunners defender Pablo Mari.

And Terry was also full of praise for his former team-mate.
Referring to the build-up to the Belgian’s goal, Terry wrote: “@RomeluLukaku what a start.
“Watch the run after he lays it off.”
Terry will have been delighted with the result, as the Blues swatted Arsenal aside to continue their perfect start to the season.
After Lukaku’s opener, Reece James made it 2-0 before half-time.
And Arsenal never looked like getting back into the match, being booed off at the interval and at full-time by portions of their returning home support.
