Arsenal’s FA Cup victory was enjoyed in Malaysia as much as at Wembley

Ready to go: Arsenal fans decked out in their jerseys before the match.

WHEN Arsenal’s Theo Walcott hammered home past Aston Villa’s goalkeeper in the 39th minute, hall three at MBO Cinemas in Citta Mall, Ara Damansara, which was filled with Malaysian Gunners supporters, rumbled with joy.

If moviegoers were wondering if a riot had broken out, they didn’t have to worry. It was a group of die-hard Arsenal fans watching their team successfully defend the FA Cup.
