Robin van Persie showed he was feeling
appy as he helped Arsenal to a win over Stoke on Sunday, dressed in some rather snazzy pants covered in Apple app icons.
The Dutch striker, who came off the bench to bag a brace in a 3-1 win, flashed his eye-catching boxers during the tense game at the Emirates.
The 28-year-old wouldn’t have had a chance to show off his new briefs if Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger’s original plan to rest him for the match had gone ahead.
Wenger said: ‘He had muscular tightness. I was not even sure he would be on the team sheet but we checked him [on Sunday] morning and he was medically all right to be on the bench.
‘Before you leave him out you think always 15 times “do I really do it” but I felt at some stage, and looking at the number of games he has played and with his history, you have to be cautious.’
Van Persie came on with 25 minutes to go while the game was locked at 1-1, and scored twice within a quarter of an hour to grab victory for his team.
He has now scored 29 goals in his last 34 games for the Gunners.
