PREMIER LEAGUE fans claimed Unai Emery had created a ‘generational meme’ after staring a reporter down in a tense post-match interview.
His Aston Villa said had thrown away two two-goal leads to draw 4-4 at Manchester United, and the Spaniard was seen storming down the tunnel before the final whistle.
Patrick Dorgu controversially headed home after Villa’s goalkeeper Zion Suzuki appeared to be blocked off by United keeper Senne Lammens.
Emery already seemed exhausted by his interview on Sky Sports, as he asked reporter Patrick Davison: “More questions?”
And explaining why he had left the dugout, Emery said: “They scored in the minute 96 and there were six minutes added. I think the match was finished.”
Emery was then asked if he thought the goal was unfair, to which he replied he did not mean it was unfair.
He commented: “No, not unfair. Please…”
In a moment fans found iconic, Emery then looked Davison square in the eye for three seconds straight without saying a word.

One supporter commented: “New meme unlocked.”
Another wrote: “What was that stare about?”
And another posted: “Unai Emery just gave us a generational meme”
Emery then said: “They scored the goal in the minute 96. You were making the question…
“I left before. It was the minute 96 and 30 seconds when we started the kick-off. My English is so so, but it’s clear or no?”
Davison then replied: “No, no. You’ve explained it well.”
An exasperated Emery then said: “Thank you. Thank you very much! More questions?!”
And when he was told there were no more questions, he said: “OK, thank you. Have a good Sunday.”
