On September 22, 2019, a thrilling match between Arsenal and Aston Villa took place, with the Gunners emerging victorious in a 3-2 comeback win.
Among the electric atmosphere was a young fan named Mikey Poulli, who, despite being born with functional eyes, lost his sight at the age of seven due to a rare eye disease.

His post, which read, "I might be blind, but this proves you don't need to see to believe. Thank you Aubameyang for this amazing moment and feeling," quickly went viral and caught the attention of the match winner himself, who replied with a heart emoji.
