Manchester Fans Steal Goat Meant For Arsenal EPL Celebration
A cross-club football rivalry took a bizarre turn in Uganda on Thursday, with two fans
One Manchester United, one Manchester City — arrested for allegedly stealing a goat bought by Arsenal supporters in Masaka.
Police say the unidentified duo took the goat Arsenal fans had purchased to mark their club’s first Premier League title in 22 years. According to reports, they admitted stealing it to stop Arsenal supporters from holding their planned celebration.
Arsenal clinched the 2026 league after Bournemouth drew 1-1 with Manchester City on Tuesday. That result sparked wild celebrations among Arsenal fans worldwide. In Masaka, the local supporters bought a goat on Sunday ahead of the trophy presentation, but never got to use it.
The theft blew up on social media, with many questioning the motive behind targeting a celebration animal.
This case is now under investigation.
