Romeo Beckham trolls Manchester United great David Beckham after Arsenal win

Manchester United great David Beckham was mocked by his son Romeo after the Reds fell to a 3-2 defeat against Arsenal on Sunday evening.

Erik ten Hag's side missed the chance to go third in the Premier League table, with Eddie Nketiah scoring a winner for the Gunners in the 90th minute of the clash. United took the lead through Marcus Rashford, but Nketiah's first goal of the game made it 1-1 before half-time.

Arsenal went 2-1 up through Bukayo Saka in the second period, but the Reds responded well and levelled proceedings thanks to Lisandro Martinez's clever header. However, as the away side looked set to be returning to Manchester with a point, Arsenal made it 3-2 with just a matter of minutes remaining.

Sir Alex Ferguson was one of several famous faces in attendance at the Premier League clash on Sunday, with Beckham and his son also watching the entertaining encounter at the Emirates.

Romeo, who is currently playing for Brentford's B team after joining the club on loan from Inter Miami, is an Arsenal fan and was keen to poke fun at his dad after the full-time whistle. The 20-year-old took to social media to mock Beckham - expressing his delight at the result.

"Sleep tight dad," he wrote on Instagram, alongside a kissing emoji and red and white emojis.

The young attacker - who is the second-oldest son of former United star Beckham - was part of Arsenal's academy in 2014, before leaving the set-up after a year.

Beckham made over 350 appearances for the Reds during his time at Old Trafford, registering 85 goals and 109 assists. He also won six league titles, two FA Cups and the Champions League.
