Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has had his say on the fans' chant for Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe.

The Hale End academy graduates both scored on Saturday afternoon as the Gunners recorded a 2-1 victory against Brentford at the Emirates Stadium, with the pair's iconic chant - set to the old Status Quo song 'Rockin All Over The World' - ringing around the ground for long stretches of the 90 minutes.

When asked about the supporters after the victory, Arteta said: "Thank you to the supporters for the atmosphere they created.

"They love that song because they are players we have raised in our system."

Saka and Smith Rowe have now netted a combined 17 goals this season and the former Manchester City assistant coach admitted that they deserve all the plaudits they have been getting.

He added: "They have to get the headlines because they do what is most difficult and win the match by an individual action.

"They deserve credit for that, but I thought the rest of the team were very good too. We do a lot of work with them individually, mentally with the psychologists, to fill their belief.

"They see how they are with the supporters, that energy and that's probably their biggest strength.

"[Smith Rowe] He's been injured. He's worked really hard and when he plays like he did today, he's really good."

The win means Arsenal are
