Arsenal legend Tony Adams recreated a viral moment on his Strictly Come Dancing debut.

Never mind Nigel Winterburn, Lee Dixon, Tony Adams and Martin Keown - Arsenal women look rock solid at the back right now. And they're not bad up front, either, with 31 goals from their last eight games.

3. Owning the joke
Speaking of Adams, the 55-year-old Arsenal legend is one of the contestants on the new series of Strictly. His first live routine involved a cheeky recreation of a viral 2017 training ground video from his ill-fated spell in charge of Spanish team, Granada.
