Wenger forced to strip after FA Cup triumph
It’s fair to say that no-one had more reason to celebrate Arsenal’s drought-breaking FA Cup triumph than their long-serving manager, Arsene Wenger. And didn’t he do it in style.
The 64-year-old became the centre of attention as the Gunners savoured their first trophy in nine years after overcoming a two goal deficit to defeat Hull City 3-2.
Wenger was drowned in beer and champagne, forcing him to strip down and change ahead of the presentations at Wembley Stadium.
Drowning in delight. A drenched Wenger is thrown into the air by his players.
The soaking started moments after the final whistle, thanks to Lukas Podolski.
It may have come as a shock, but it was likely expected.
From there, the party really started as Gunners players gathered around their boss.
They threw their manager into the air in scenes of utter jubilation.
Even Arsene seemed to be enjoying the mayhem.
And how about that photobomb by the Gunners’ mascot!
Never one to be caught-out, Wenger appeared to have planned for the madness.
