Arsenal star Ben White brilliantly responds to why he didn’t see Manchester City beat Liverpool

The Gunners beat Leeds 4-1 on Saturday with the defender scoring against his former club, shortly after rivals Manchester City beat Liverpool by the same scoreline.

After the game, BBC Sport asked White if he was allowed to watch City’s game so close to Arsenal on the pitch.

But he simply replied: “I don’t watch football.”

The 25-year-old’s lack of interest in the game beyond his own career has largely served to heighten his hero status among Arsenal fans.

And he even suggested it would benefit his title push as he enters the most pressured period of his career to date.

White continued, “There is a lot of noise outside, and everyone is very quiet and still doing what we are doing.

“I don’t really know what’s right or wrong, I’ve never been in this position before. So we remain silent, heads down and work hard.
