The roar from the TV made me sit up and take a look.
A football match was in full flow, with players running about on a pitch.
An unexpected goal was scored, against the pundits’ call.
Who is playing? I struggled to see: it was Arsenal and Wolves.
Arsenal players were in despair, allowing a goal in just as the end was near.
Wolves were madly celebrating.
Arsenal picked up their spirits and the ball, heading for the spot, arranging themselves in playing order. No time to wait at all.
Hardly had the whistle been blown then the ball was in the back of the net.
Arsenal fans roared their delight, but their players returned the ball to the spot at speed.
Their determination was to score again to cement their claim to the game.
Once more, a few touches of the ball were applied and the same player scored.
Not satisfied, they placed the ball on the spot again.
No time to spare.
Dodging Wolves defenders, into the goal it flew.
As Wolves crumbled in disbelief, Arsenal fans and players roared.
And the whistle used by the referee blew and blew.
Game over.
