Arsenal midfielder Emile Smith Rowe is proud of his relationship with fans.

Following a frustrating first half against Brentford, the England international broke the deadlock just three minutes after the interval with a fine solo effort.

Saka then doubled the lead with a well-taken strike, his eighth of the campaign, as the home fans burst into a chorus of their take on Status Quo's 'Rocking All Over The World'.

With the lyrics altered to hail Saka and Smith Rowe, the latter spoke of the feeling of having his name – as well as that of his close friend – echo around the stadium.

“It's a bit surreal to be honest," he told Arsenal Media.

“Me and Bukayo have both come from the academy, Eddie (Nketiah) as well.

“To hear the fans screaming our names and scoring together, it's just been great.

“I'm buzzing. The goals are really starting to come now but the most important thing was the three points."

Smith Rowe's goal also saw him become the first Arsenal academy star to reach double figures in a season since Cesc Fabregas hit 19 in the 2009-10 season.

“That's really special to hear that," added Smith Rowe.

“That means a lot, you know. It's always been a dream to play for Arsenal so to hear that, it means a lot."
