Spurs loanee Giovani Lo Celso climbs atop a cupboard, gleefully bounding around to the beat.
Old Arsenal boss Unai Emery, meanwhile, can be seen smiling widely at his side’s incredible victory.
Villarreal went into last night’s second leg leading 1-0 courtesy of Arnaut Danjuma’s strike at El Madrigal.

Julian Nagelsmann’s side levelled the tie on 52 minutes via the familiar route of a Robert Lewandowski strike.
In hunting a winner, however, Bayern were caught on the break late on.
Lo Celso’s clever through ball found Gerard Moreno, with the forward showing great composure to slip a square pass to Samuel Chukwueze.
The Nigerian subsequently hit the ball into the ground, deceiving Manuel Neuer as it kicked up and over him.
Chukwueze’s strike silenced the expectant Allianz Arena, with his team-mates bounding towards him to celebrate.
While Emery hugged his assistant in pure glee.

Villarreal will face either Liverpool or Benfica in the semi-finals.
Jurgen Klopp’s side go into tonight’s second leg with a commanding advantage, having beaten their opponents 3-1 in Portugal last week.
After the game, Gerard Moreno said: “In the first leg we made the mistake of not finishing the tie and all the comments serve as motivation for us.

“They made the mistake today of not killing us off and we took advantage of that. What this team has done is great, we deserved to go through.
“We knew we were going to suffer in defence, but we were going to have our chances and, in the end, Chukwueze was able to make the most of it.”
