Brentford got their Premier League campaign off to a storming start on Friday night with a memorable win over Arsenal in west London.
Sergi Canos sent the full house at the Brentford Community Stadium into raptures before Christian Norgaard headed home after the break to secure a 2-0 win.
It was the perfect way to pay tribute to Brentford technical director Robert Rowan, who tragically died at just 28 three years ago.
The capacity crowd came together in the 28th minute to pay their respects with a minute's applause.
Rowan's impact at Brentford is clear to see. The Scot was influential in setting up the club's B team and three of those players were on the pitch at the full-time whistle.
Striker Marcus Forss and defender Mads Bech Sorensen were regulars last term as the Bees clinched promotion from the Championship.
However, the late introduction of Mads Bidstrup for £9million summer signing Frank Onyeka shows he is the latest player off the production line expected to make the step up.
Signed from RB Leipzig last summer, the 20-year-old midfielder saw the first half of the campaign wrecked by injury.
However, he made his first-team debut towards the end of the season and his appearance in the play-off final at Wembley indicated he would have a part to play this time around.
Officially promoted to the senior ranks in the summer, the energetic Bidstrup not only made the bench against the Gunners but was trusted to come on to help them get over the line.
Frank insists the decision was no token gesture and the youngster looks destined for a big future.
He said: "I put the best players on the pitch to solve the task. For this, it was Mads Bidstrup.
"We needed a player who was a fantastic pressing player who can cover a lot of the pitch."
Frank added: "It was an emotional moment when we applauded Rob. I stood there standing and there was a picture of me and him on the screen and we were leading 1-0 in the Premier League.
"He was and is a big part of why we are in the Premier League now.
"I could give him even more credit by bringing on a young player in the end of a Premier League game. That made the night complete."
