Blackpink’s Lisa makes special appearance for coin toss at Arsenal-Tottenham game

According to ChosunLisa’s appearance was to promote the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham. From the sidelines, she walked to the midfield to greet the referee, then gave him a coin to determine which team would get the ball first.

The unexpected crossover thrilled fans of both Blackpink and football. On social media, Lisa’s images at the game received thousands of likes and comments. One Reddit user wrote: “I was at the match and had to look closely to see if it was Lisa. Shockingly, it was her.”

“She stole everyone’s attention, from waving the flag at the Formula 1 race to this. Lisa is on top of the world,” another commented, referring to when the K-pop star was recently chosen to wave the ceremonial checkered flag at the end of the F1 Miami Grand Prix last May.

Arsenal, who have dominated their last six matches against Tottenham with five wins and one draw, faced a tough start to the game. Tottenham captain Son Heung-min opened the scoring in the 25th minute, silencing the home crowd. However, Arsenal turned the tide with a quickfire response, equalizing through an own goal by Dominic Solanke in the 40th minute. The comeback was completed moments before halftime when Leandro Trossard unleashed a stunning long-range strike, securing a 2-1 victory for the Gunners.

With this win, Arsenal tightened the Premier League title race, closing the gap to four points behind league leaders Liverpool.
