In the last match of 2025, the London "Arsenal" team crushed Birmingham's "Aston Villa" club at home with a score of 4:1.

Curious events were recorded after the clash of the Premier League giants on the pitch and near it.

Initially, "Arsenal" coach Mikel Arteta could not find the opponent's strategist Unai Emery, whom he wanted to traditionally shake hands with. The Spaniard simply disappeared – according to the press, he quickly moved to the locker room.

Moreover, guest goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez nearly got involved in a scuffle with the "Gunners" fans, from which he was protected by team members.
