As the final whistle blew and Arsenal's players exchanged handshakes with their Liverpool counterparts, Izan was already making his move.
Some players stayed behind to soak in the applause or engage in post-match interviews.
But Izan swiftly navigated past the oncoming reporters, cutting through the crowd with a determined stride toward the tunnel.
"And there goes Izan Hernandez—absolutely no interest in sticking around," Peter Drury chuckled. "If you want a word from him, you better start running."
Lee Dixon laughed. "Honestly, if he plays football the way he dodges reporters, no wonder Liverpool couldn't lay a finger on him tonight."
The cameras caught some of the crowd laughing, a few Arsenal fans even playfully mimicking Izan's quick getaway.
One Liverpool fan near the tunnel held up a sign that read: "Izan, blink twice if Arteta is holding you hostage!"
As Izan disappeared into the tunnel, the SoFi crowd cheered once more, a mix of admiration and amusement.
