Emmanuel Adebayor would be remembered for his time in the Premier League with his excessive goal celebration during the game between Manchester City and Arsenal in 2009 but what a lot of people won’t know is that the player apologised for his action later. Emmanuel Adebayor made the apology while he was being interviewed by Sky Sports shortly after the game. The Togolese striker moved from Arsenal to Manchester City before the start of the 2009/10 season in a £25m deal and the transfer didn’t go down well with the Arsenal fans. Emmanuel Adebayor had received tons of abuses towards him and his family from the Arsenal fans ahead of the Premier League clash between hosts Manchester City and Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium. The poor treatment received from the Arsenal fans prompted him to run the length of the field after he found the back of net during the game, which ended in a 4-2 defeat for the Gunners. After the game, Emmanuel Adebayorapologised when he was asked by a Sky Sports reporter if he had lost his head. In his response, the player confessed that he lost his head during the game and that as a human, he is prone to mistakes.
