Former Oasis lead guitarist Noel Gallagher revealed he received stitches in his face after being accidentally headbutted by the father of centerback Rúben Dias as the pair celebrated Manchester City’s second-half comeback to clinch the Premier League title Sunday.
The musician and noted City fan said that he was “covered in blood” after the club scored a third goal to take a late lead after trailing Aston Villa 2–0 after 75 minutes. İlkay Gündoğan played the hero, finding the back of the net in the 81st minute to give the team a 3–2 advantage. The score sent the Manchester home crowd into pandemonium, but for Gallagher, the euphoria was short-lived.
“As the third goal goes in there is absolute bedlam. ... In the stadium where we sit, Ruben Dias’ family are in the box, a couple of boxes up,” Gallagher told TalkSport.
