Emile Smith Rowe: 'I ran downstairs and told my mum' after surprise England call-up

Arsenal forward Emile Smith Rowe says receiving his first full England call-up was a "very emotional" moment.

Smith Rowe got the late call for the two World Cup qualifiers with Albania and San Marino after the withdrawals of Marcus Rashford and James Ward-Prowse.

"It was a great moment for me and my family - I ran downstairs straight away and told my mum. It was very emotional. They were so proud of me," he said.

Smith Rowe, 21, has scored in three successive league games for Arsenal.

But he was expecting to be part of the Under-21 squad when he received his first call-up from manager Gareth Southgate on Monday.
