A former Arsenal boy was part of the squad that helped knock Tottenham Hotspur out of the Europa League on Thursday night.
Spurs had a 2-0 first-leg advantage in their visit to Dinamo Zagreb last night.
But Tottenham lost 2-0 in normal time and then conceded another in the additional half-hour to suffer a 3-2 aggregate defeat – and one Arsenal product is delighted.
Robbie Burton began his professional career on the red half of the North London divide, before joining the Croatian outfit in 2020.
The 21-year-old midfielder never made it off the bench in either leg, but Burton is clearly delighted with the result nonetheless.
Here’s how he reacted on Twitter to Dinamo knocking Tottenham out of the competition.
Jose Mourinho’s side are six points adrift of the top four in the Premier League, sitting eighth in the table.
Winning the Europa League was their best chance of qualifying for the Champions League next term, but now their hopes are a little tentative, it has to be said.
They’re away to Aston Villa on Sunday and then home to Newcastle United two weeks later and anything but six points might spell the end of their Champions League hopes.
