20 Arsenal fans have been detained in Uganda after taking part in a trophy parade after the Gunners beat Manchester United on Sunday.
The north London side beat United 3-2 with a late winner from Eddie Nketiah securing a huge three points at the Emirates. The win for Mikel Arteta’s side leaves them five points clear at the top with. a game in hand, exactly half way through the season.
A day after the action, local Ugandan police intercepted a group of joyful Arsenal fans who were parading through Jinja in a convoy of around five vehicles, and one was carrying a trophy that he’d purchased at a local store.

One Gunners fan Baker Kasule told local media, “I don’t know what we have done but we were simply celebrating our victory over rivals Manchester United.”
However, police said that the individuals didn’t have a permit to hold the procession which is a public order offence.
There could be more trouble for the Ugandan police force on the way, with Arsenal taking on Manchester City this Friday in the FA Cup.
