Arsenal star’s unfortunate wardrobe malfunction during Burnley win | Football | Sport
Arsenal star Piero Hincapie was left red-faced after enduring an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction live on TV during the Gunners’ tense encounter with Burnley. The Ecuador defender ended up accidentally exposing his backside to the Emirates crowd following an awkward collision with Burnley ace Axel Tuanzebe.
Hincapie, 24, had only just entered the pitch as Mikel Arteta’s side attempted to preserve their narrow advantage against the already-relegated visitors. The defender tumbled to the ground while tussling with Tuanzebe near the touchline — and as the Burnley man tried to avoid stepping on him, he accidentally trod on Hincapie’s shorts.
That left the Arsenal man sliding across the turf while his shorts remained firmly pinned beneath Tuanzebe’s boot.
Cue thousands of fans — and viewers at home, witnessing more than they bargained for of Hincapie’s bare behind.
Clearly embarrassed, the defender swiftly rolled over and hauled his shorts back up before continuing as if nothing had occurred.
Fortunately for Hincapie, Arsenal still had the final word.
And despite a few late scares, plus a contentious VAR incident involving Havertz, Arteta’s men clung on for a crucial three points.
