After a goalless first half, Arsenal FC fought their stride and blew open their home clash with Manchester United. By midway through the second half, the Gunners were up 2-0 on a United team prioritizing the UEFA Europa League over Sunday’s meeting at The Emirates.
Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger would go on to get his first win over Jose Mourinho, in this the 16th attempt. United, resting some of their critical players for the Europa semi-final against Celta Vigo on Thursday night, have now seen their 25 match Premier League unbeaten streak end.
That calls for a quick snack, believe these two Arsenal FC players sitting on the bench. Not after the game now, but in the midst of it! The television cameras caught the comestibles, and the moment was made all the more outrageous given how the TV snapped United Manager Jose Mourinho right beside the snacking sportsmen.
Social media is having a lot of fun with this right now, take a look:
