New Arsenal boss was only into his fourth pre-match press conference in the Premier League when he, too, was rudely interrupted by a journalist's phone.

The Spanish boss was responding to a question about a report that wasn't true and he was explaining his understanding of the situation and the phone rang at the right moment to diffuse a little tension in the room.

Emery first smiles and picks up the phone, asking the assembled journalists whether he could answer, before proceeding to answer it.

"Ok, good morning... Or good afternoon. I am Unai Emery! How are you? Yeah... we are working."

That's when the person at the other end hangs up, probably after having experienced his heart skip a few beats!
