Arsenal Football Club paid tribute to Daniel Anjorin, a 14-year-old fan, who was tragically killed in a sword attack in Hainault, East London. The tribute occurred during Arsenal’s match against Bournemouth at the Emirates Stadium, where Daniel’s image was displayed on the big screens, and a minute of applause resonated in the 14th minute in his honour.
