Arsenal fans paid tribute to Daniel Anjorin, a British-Nigerian teenage supporter who tragically lost his life to a sword-wielding attacker in London.
During Arsenal’s match against Bournemouth, fans paused play in the 14th minute to cheer in memory of Anjorin, who admired Bukayo Saka.
The Emirates Stadium displayed Daniel’s image on the scoreboard alongside banners reading “R.I.P Daniel” in his honor.
Anjorin, just 14 years old, attended Bancroft’s private school in Woodford Green, which was also attended by another victim, Grace O’Malley-Kumar, from the Nottingham attack. The young boy was fatally wounded on his way to school when he was attacked by a man with what appeared to be a Samurai-type sword.
The suspect, a 36-year-old man who was not previously known to police, was tasered and arrested on suspicion of murder and remains in custody.
Anjorin’s school expressed profound shock and sorrow at the loss of their pupil.
