Hilarious Moment: Arsenal-Supporting Journalist is Seen Jumping for Joy Live on Channel 4 News
- 9 months ago
Seeing your team score an injury-time winner is a moment that has to be celebrated - even if you can be seen on national TV.
Viewers watching the Channel 4 news on Sunday night must have wondered what was happening in the newsroom when behind news reader Ciaran Jenkins scenes of celebrations could be seen from his colleagues.
But the cheers were not directed at Jenkins or his delivery of tonight's headlines, instead, they were acts of triumph from Arsenal fans hilariously celebrating their side's injury-time win over Manchester United!
As Jenkins closed up tonight's report, you can see several hands in the air in response to Gunner's win, with one gentleman, in particular, rising to his feet waving two celebratory fists in the air several times.
Mikel Arteta's side looked to be heading for a 1-1 draw with old rivals Man United as Sunday's game entered eight minutes of added time.
But as the clock ticked down towards full time, Declan Rice found space from an Arsenal corner to hit his first goal for the club and win the game for the north London side.
Gabriel Jesus added a third minutes later to clinch the game for the Gunners, prompting wild scenes at the Emirates and even bigger celebrations in national newsrooms around the country.
Earlier in the game Marcus Rashford had put the Red Devils in front, just before the half-hour mark, to open the scoring in a cagey first 25 minutes.
However, Arsenal hit back immediately as Martin Odegaard equalized within a minute of Rashford's goal to draw the home side level.
United gave a debut to new £72m singing Rasmus Hojlund and had a late goal from Alejandro Garnarcho ruled out for offside by VAR.
But the game looked as though it was headed to a share of the points until Arsenal's late, late show.
