‘He’s all of us’ – Watch Arsenal legend Ian Wright’s hilarious reaction as he’s forced to cut celebrations short


ARSENAL legend Ian Wright left fans in stitches after celebrating a goal against Leicester… before it was ruled out.

The Gunners claimed a 1-0 win on Saturday afternoon thanks to Gabriel Martinelli’s second-half strike.

But many Arsenal supporters thought they had taken the lead in the first period when Bukayo Saka put the ball in the back of the net.

And Wright, who was watching in a studio alongside Alan Shearer, was so ecstatic that he jumped out of his seat.

What the Arsenal icon failed to see was that the flag had gone up for offside.

And when Shearer made him aware it was not going to stand, the change in his demeanour left those on social media in hysterics.

Later on in the programme, Wright watched his own reaction back and looked somewhat embarrassed.

But he had the final laugh as Arsenal ended up claiming the win over Leicester to move five points clear at the top of the table.

That was despite Saka AND Leandro Trossard both having goals ruled out.

Trossard’s strike was chalked off by VAR after Leicester keeper Danny Ward was adjudged to have been fouled in the build-up.

Wright was also left furious with the officials for failing to award a penalty when Harry Souttar hauled down Saka.

He said: “That was a ridiculous decision. A phenomenal mistake.”

Shearer agreed, adding: “Yes, definitely, 100 per cent. How can they not give? Yeah it was an accidental slip but that doesn’t matter.”
