Linesman teaches Arsenal star how to take a throw-in

A humorous clip has surfaced online showing the linesman from Arsenal’s clash against Nottingham Forest providing Riccardo Calafiori with a lesson on how to take a throw-in correctly. The incident, captured during the match, has since been widely shared and commented on by fans.

Calafiori has established himself as a key figure in the Arsenal squad this season, effectively replacing Myles Lewis-Skelly as the club’s preferred choice at full-back. Last term, Lewis-Skelly occupied a spot in the starting XI, but from the opening game of the current campaign, the Italian has consistently been selected as the first choice. His strong performances have reinforced his position, demonstrating reliability and composure in defence.

A Light-Hearted Moment on the Pitch

Despite his solid form, Calafiori was caught in a light-hearted moment that has amused supporters. According to the Daily Mail, the linesman called the Italian over during the game and proceeded to demonstrate the correct technique for executing a throw-in.

While it may come as a surprise that a player who has operated as a full-back for much of his career would require guidance on this aspect of the game, Calafiori responded with patience and humility. He attentively observed the linesman’s instructions, showing respect and a willingness to learn, even in such an unusual circumstance.
