Brentford supporters had been dreaming of reaching the Premier League but imagine how it felt to be the man whose performance at Wembley made it happen. Emiliano Marcondes was the star of his team's 2-0 win over Swansea in the Championship playoff final.

"It was 100 per cent the best day of my career and maybe also my life," he tells Sky Sports. "To score, win and be named man of the match in my last game for Brentford. I was so happy that I could not stop smiling for weeks. It still makes me smile just to think about it."

That smile still reveals the temporary teeth that he required just days before the final after catching an accidental elbow from teammate Marcus Forss in training. It required emergency dental treatment for him to be ready for his heroic role at Wembley.

"I say all the time that I look like Freddie Mercury because they stick out a little bit longer than before. It was not the best preparation."
