Arsenal's Piero Hincapie subtly responded to Virgil van Dijk's earlier social media post after Arsenal defeated Liverpool at Anfield, their first win there since 2012. Hincapie came on as a late substitute and helped secure the victory. The win was significant for Arsenal, ending a long wait for a result at the ground. It was a memorable start to the week for the players and supporters.

The response was linked to an earlier encounter between the clubs, where Liverpool were league champions at the time and Van Dijk posted the Premier League champions badge on social media after a draw. Hincapie shared the same badge after the win, captioning it “I don’t forget.” This was seen as a subtle reminder of the earlier exchange and a message to Van Dijk.

Hincapie's post was a small moment of banter following a significant team victory. Rather than making a lengthy statement, he used the champions badge and a brief caption to deliver his message, giving Arsenal supporters another reason to enjoy the result. Football fans appreciated the subtle exchange between the players.
