Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>In a repeat of last year’s scenes, Arsenal fans took to the streets in celebration following their 2-0 victory over arch rivals Manchester United in the Premier League.<\/b><\/p>\n

Arsenal fans in Jinja City erupted in celebrations following their team\u2019s 2-0 victory over Manchester United in a Premier League clash last night.<\/p>\n

In a nation that is mad about English football, clashes between the two teams often end in post-match incidents.<\/p>\n

In Lukaya town in Kalungu District, an Arsenal fan was shot dead by a security guard over noisy celebrations in the dead of the night.<\/p>\n

And in Jinja City, the jubilant supporters organised street processions that brought parts of the city to a standstill, with motorcycles adorned in Arsenal colours dominating the streets.<\/p>\n

The celebrations began early in the morning at Stabex Bugembe, where fans refueled their motorcycles, courtesy of Felix Bagiire, popularly known as Arsenal Ambassador Sham Love – who was one of those arrested last year.<\/p>\n

The enthusiasm among fans was palpable, fueled by optimism for Arsenal’s Premier League title chances this season.<\/p>\n

Unlike last season, when similar celebrations led to police interventions and arrests, this time the procession passed near the Central Police Station without incident.<\/p>\n

Officers observed the festivities but did not intervene.<\/p>\n

However, Kiira Region Police spokesperson James Mubi reminded the public to seek prior authorization from the Inspector General of Police before organizing processions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe urge fans to avoid holding unauthorized processions to ensure public safety and order,\u201d said Mubi.<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u2019s win comes as a much-needed boost following a challenging October and early November.<\/p>\n

The team\u2019s recent three-game winning streak has propelled them to third place in the Premier League table with 28 points, seven behind league leaders Liverpool.<\/p>\n

Sports analysts believe this victory has reignited Arsenal’s hopes of being serious title contenders.<\/p>\n

Fans in Jinja echoed this sentiment, expressing renewed confidence in their team\u2019s potential for glory this season.<\/p>\n
