Arsenal beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-1 on Sunday afternoon, with Jack Wilshere absolutely loving what he saw from the Gunners and Bukayo Saka.
Saka set up Emile Smith Rowe for the opener, before Smith Rowe found Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to make it 2-0.
Saka added the third in a blistering first half for Arsenal, with Son Heung-min’s second half goal merely a consolation.
Arsenal blew Tottenham away on Sunday, and had two homegrown stars to thank.
Saka and Smith Rowe shine for Arsenal
One major reason this win meant so much to Arsenal fans was that two boyhood Gunners ran riot.
Saka and Smith Rowe were superb in the first half, grabbing a goal and an assist each in a stunning display.
Both players have huge futures, and seeing them torment Tottenham was a delight for Arsenal fans everywhere.
Saka admitted after the game that he and Smith Rowe spoke over breakfast about what it would be like to score against Tottenham. In the end, both of them did.
Ex-Arsenal man Wilshere reacts
Arsenal fans will have loved those comments, and Jack Wilshere was no different.
Wilshere, a free agent who could return to Arsenal training under Mikel Arteta, came through the Arsenal ranks himself.
Wilshere tweeted ‘made in Hale End’ after hearing Saka’s comments, clearly understanding what it means to both Saka and Smith Rowe.
Maybe they will end up training together at Arsenal soon, but Wilshere is clearly delighted for them regardless.
