Arteta, who saw the first team beat Palace on Friday, was at Meadow Park on Saturday strength is what stood out at Meadow Park. Receiving the ball on the halfway line with a man on his back, he was able to hold off the challenge, spin and drive into the final third.
Just before half-time, he received another Smith pass and allowed the midfielder to overlap before drifting inside to shoot. He later came off the right to place a shot into the far corner after his initial effort was blocked and then picked up an assist, playing an outside-of-the-boot pass into Miguel Azeez who made it 3-1.
Patience will be key with Marquinhos. He impressed but there were moments when his youth was clear. At times, he was trying to buy fouls that were not there as well as rushing long passes. It is also not clear where his short-term opportunities may come from.
