Emile Smith Rowe has interacted with multiple former Arsenal team-mates on social media after their 3-0 win over Real Madrid.
Smith Rowe was involved when the Gunners were last in the quarter-finals of a European competition four years ago.
Starting both legs of the Europa League tie against Slavia Prague, the attacking midfielder assisted Nicolas Pepe for what proved to be the winning goal on aggregate.
Eight months after joining Fulham during the summer transfer window, the Hale End graduate presumably watched on from afar as his boyhood club took a commanding first-leg lead in their Champions League quarter-final tie.
Afterwards, he showed support to some of his former team-mates on Instagram. Smith Rowe liked the post Bukayo Saka put out afterwards, which carries the caption: "We asked, and you gave us everything, thank you! Same energy in Madrid; job's not finished!"
He did likewise on a post from Thomas Partey that reads: "WHAT A NIGHT," and Smith Rowe showed similar love when Jurrien Timber posted on Wednesday saying: "Big Champions League night! See you next week".
Several other academy graduates who have since left the club showed similar support. "The general!" Eddie Nketiah commented on Partey's post, which the now- Wrexham goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo liked.
Saka also received support from Ben Cottrell, Tyreece John-Jules and Vontae Daley-Campbell, who commented with a combination of fire and/or heart emojis. Nketiah and Okonkwo also liked the post.
Smith Rowe's Fulham team-mate Reiss Nelson, who is spending this season on loan at the west London club, was another to drop a like, as did fellow loanees Albert Sambi Lokonga and Karl Jakob Hein.
Club legends also showed their support, with Gilberto Silva and Robert Pires among those to do so on social media. Saka even got a "well done" from the former alongside multiple clapping hands emojis.
