MIKEL MERINO dedicated his late Arsenal double to his wife Lola... after forgetting to buy her a Valentine's Day present.
"But it’s a good day to score because I forgot to give my wife a Valentine’s Day present, so I think she’ll appreciate this more than a rose or some chocolates.".
Despite the makeshift forward's double, Ethan Nwaneri was awarded TNT Sports' player of the match award.
A third quipped: "Merino is so locked in he forgot to get his wife a valentine's.".
After the game, Merino made a cheeky admission while speaking to TNT Sports.
