After the important match between "Arsenal" and "Aston Villa," a somewhat scandalous incident occurred. Former "Gunners" team coach Unai Emery, who is currently in charge of the "Villa" team, rushed into the tunnel after the final whistle and did not shake hands with Mikel Arteta.

U. Emery tried to explain why this happened.

"I was not unhappy at all; it's just that when the match ends, I usually go to shake the hand of the opposing coach, but he was with other coaches and I couldn't wait for that."

Of course, there was no problem. I just went to the dressing room," the "Aston Villa" specialist told the BBC.
