Arsenal midfielder was without a front tooth on Sunday during Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Hull City after he tangled into Hull City forward Shane Long in the first half of the match. The 32-year-old then had to be taken off for treatment from the sidelines.

What amused us more was that even after losing one of his front teeth, Arteta’s always perfect hair was left untouched.

Later, manager Arsene Wenger confirmed that neither Arteta or the physios were able to recover the lost tooth after the incident. Seems like a classic Tooth fairy case, to be quite honest!
