Shaun Rooney would have been celebrating Fleetwood's triumph over Arsenal on Tuesday night.

The Cod Army forward, 30, is no stranger to attention, having previously dated tennis professional Heather Watson.

Rooney completed the entire 90 minutes as the League Two side held the Premier League champions to a draw.

He ended the evening celebrating as Fleetwood secured victory after a dramatic penalty shootout.

Bruno Guimaraes missed his spot-kick for Arsenal, while Conor Haughey converted the decisive penalty.

Watson, 34, regularly attended Rooney's matches while he was at St Mirren in Scotland.

She disclosed that she travelled to watch him during her campaign at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Watson intended to see Rooney play but could not because she advanced in the tournament with Katie Boulter.

Consequently, she missed his Conference League fixture against Icelandic side Valur.

Nonetheless, Rooney managed to spare some preparation time to view Watson compete.
