‘Sleep tight dad’ – Gloating Romeo Beckham gets one over glum David as he shows off Arsenal scarf after Man Utd win
ARSENAL fan Romeo Beckham trolled dad David after the Gunners’ last-gasp win over Manchester United.
The Brentford B starlet, who David has been supporting at every opportunity, took in Sunday’s thriller with his old man in the expensive seats at the Emirates.
Dad David would’ve been celebrating in the 17th minute when United hitman Marcus Rashford broke the deadlock with a stunning solo strike.
It wasn’t long, however, before former Arsenal schoolboy Romeo was celebrating as Eddie Nketiah levelled the scores with a header seven minutes later.
Bukayo Saka fired the Gunners into the lead in the 53rd minute with a superb strike from distance.
But their lead lasted just six minutes as a stooping header from Lisandro Martinez put United back on level terms.
Romeo, however, had the last laugh as Nketiah struck in the 90th minute to extend the Gunners’ lead at the top of the table to five points.
And he trolled his dad by posting a selfie of them outside the Emirates after the match – in which he celebrated as the Red Devils legend looked glum.
He wrote on Instagram: “Sleep tight dad @davidbeckham.”
David’s allegiances to Manchester United didn’t stop proud Arsenal fan Romeo – who was in their youth system as a schooboy – from sporting Gunners colours as they watched the game.
