Mikel Arteta saw his press conference after Arsenal's win over Leeds interrupted with a nod to former club Everton .
Arteta was speaking to the media after Reiss Nelson's goal had secured a place in the fourth round of the FA Cup on Monday night.
But as the Spaniard responded to questions from a journalist, he found himself interrupted by a significant ringtone.
'Forever Everton', which is played before each match at Goodison Park, was heard from a phone inside the Arsenal media room - much to the humour of Arteta.
Arteta was seen laughing along and covering his eyes before the culprit - believed to be a member of the club’s security team - quickly exited the room as he struggled to turn the phone off.
The Spaniard spent seven years at Goodison Park after joining the club from Real Sociedad in 2004.
He was also linked with the manager's job at Everton following Marco Silva's departure but his former club went for Carlo Ancelotti.
Arteta was delighted with his side's second-half performance against Leeds, with the Championship side dominating the opening period.
They are a nightmare for every team to play," he said.
"I said before the game, to play against them is like going to the dentist. It's tough. They make it really hard. They are a great team.
"What they have achieved, to do it consistently every three days with those players, and what they have built there, is powerful.
"You can see it every time you analyse any of their games. It's exactly like this. It's top to see that."
