Thousands of fans were hit with shock on Monday morning after curiously checking to see why Arsenal left-back Nuno Tavares was trending on X.com.
The result likely put many of them off their breakfast.
Tavares – who has been on loan at Nottingham Forest since September 1 – was trending due to a viral video that appeared to show him kissing multiple dogs… with tongues.
It was later confirmed that Tavares was indeed the dog-loving man in the footage, although this was not a recent video.
The video had previously done the rounds in 2021 shortly before Arsenal signed Tavares from Benfica.
Nevertheless, it still caught a lot of people by surprise on social media.
One Forest fan shared wrote: “As a Nottingham Forest supporter I am disgusted about this! To see our left back video himself doing this is shocking it would be a real shame if we had to send him back to Arsenal!”
Another commented that typing “Nuno Tavares” in the search tab had been the “worst decision” of their life.
