ONE Arsenal supporter found a rather creative way of keeping warm at the Emirates – by bringing his duvet to the game.
With temperatures below freezing in London following a storm and cold snap, a Gunners fan was seen wrapped up in his blanket in the stands.
Arsenal’s clash with Manchester City was at risk of being called off due to the severe weather that’s battered Britain in recent days.
With the attendance on Thursday night, the supporter could almost have even brought a couple pillows and had a lie down on an entire row.
At least the one fan made it to the game when most seemed to stay away.
There were swathes of empty seats all over the Emirates on Thursday night during Manchester City’s 3-0 victory.

And weather can hardly be used an excuse for staying away as Man City fans made it all the way across the country to pack the away end.
Maybe the majority of empty seats were in protest at Sunday’s embarrassing Carabao Cup final defeat at Wembley.
But that one supporter in a blanket stayed loyal and didn’t let the cold stop him.
It still wasn’t the most memorable thing seen in the stands at the Emirates this season after one fan was caught on camera eating a giant bag of carrots during the game against Liverpool in December.
