'Arsenal have been Arsenal'd!' | Hincapie scores own-goal from James' corner

During a Premier League match between Arsenal and Chelsea at Emirates Stadium on Sunday, March 1, 2026, defender Hincapie inadvertently scored an own goal from a corner kick taken by Chelsea's player James, contributing to the match's outcome in the 17:31 UK kickoff. The incident occurred in the first half when James delivered a precise corner that found Hincapie in the penalty area, with the Colombian defender attempting to clear the ball but instead directing it past his own goalkeeper to the delight of visiting Chelsea supporters. The goal proved crucial as it gave Chelsea an early lead in what was shaping up to be a fiercely contested London derby between two of the Premier League's most storied rivals. This 'Arsenal'd' moment, as dubbed by fans and media, has become somewhat of a trademark for the Gunners this season, with similar defensive errors costing them valuable points in previous matches. Manager Mikel Arteta expressed frustration with the defensive lapse during his post-match interview, acknowledging that such mistakes cannot happen in matches of this magnitude against direct title contenders like Chelsea.
