But it wasn&#8217;t just him that enjoyed the goal as it meant just as much to Spurs-mad dad Noel and his good friend Antoine Semenyo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Scott revealed he immediately text the explosive Manchester City attacker upon return to the away dressing room at the Emirates after doing his former Cherries team-mate a big favour in the Premier League title race.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The 22-year-old said when asked for his assessment of the title picture: &#8220;Obviously they&#8217;re (Arsenal) top of the league, both are tough places to come, Man City away is always a really hard game, whoever wins it wins it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;Antoine&#8217;s now at Man City, so I&#8217;m hoping for Antoine but Arsenal have been brilliant all year, so whoever wins it, they will thoroughly deserve it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;I texted him afterwards and obviously he&#8217;s really happy with us winning.<\/p>\n<p><span data-testid=\"readmore\" class=\"ReadMore_readmore-prefix__xS44r __className_020eaf\">READ MORE<!-- -->: <span class=\"ReadMore_readmore-link__eF9pN\">Wayne Rooney tells Arsenal they will have to &#8216;play dirty&#8217; in order to beat Man City<\/span><\/span><span data-testid=\"readmore\" class=\"ReadMore_readmore-prefix__xS44r __className_020eaf\">READ MORE<!-- -->: <span class=\"ReadMore_readmore-link__eF9pN\">Pep Guardiola demands Arsenal respect ahead of blockbuster title showdown<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;We&#8217;re all still really good friends, he&#8217;s one of my best mates in football, so he was always going to text me after that one.
