A tragic incident has emerged from Kenya where a young man, a devoted Arsenal fan, reportedly took his own life after the team narrowly missed out on the title, despite securing a close win against Everton.
In a circulating video, mourners can be heard grieving the loss as the man, clad in an Arsenal jersey, is seen hanging from a rope.
The vernacular and Swahili spoken in the video suggest the incident occurred in Kenya.
The heartbreaking incident follows a season filled with ups and downs, culminating in Arsenal’s narrow 2-1 victory over Everton on the final match day.
However, despite their efforts, Arsenal fell short of the title, as Manchester City clinched an unprecedented fourth successive EPL title with a 3-1 win over West Ham at the Etihad.
Arsenal fans worldwide expressed bitter disappointment at coming so close to victory.
Nevertheless, they are encouraged by the progress the team has shown this season and the positive attitude displayed throughout.
This optimism sets a promising tone for the upcoming season, as Arsenal aims to build on the achievements of this year.
