Have you heard? Arsenal have won the Premier League after 22 long years. To celebrate the historic win for the Gunners, people all over north London have been going mad for their team. For days the streets have been filled with Arsenal flags, flares and shirts, and there was a huge impromptu gathering outside the Emirates stadium on Tuesday (May 19) night. 

Now, one pasta restaurant wants in on the action. Trullo, an Italian eatery in Highbury, the heart of Arsenal territory, has painted its façade Arsenal red as a tribute to the footy team. 

Trullo has been painted navy since it opened in 2010 on St Paul’s Road. The beloved Islington joint is known for its excellent fresh handmade pastas. It also serves Italian mains from the grill, like turbot, squab pigeon and stuffed courgette flower. It’s apparently a popular matchday eating spot, possibly making Trullo the most middle-class football fuel in the country.

Trullo’s red exterior was revealed earlier today. The restaurant hasn’t confirmed for how long it will be sporting the colour of the Gooners.
