She shared on her Instagram story that she and her friends were “Arsenal fans for the evening, girls’ night out”.

It is believed that the 28-year-old is normally a fan of Bristol Rovers and West Ham United.

After the game, Jama and her friends met Williamson for a picture.

But the Arsenal defender was also happy to see Jama repping her name as she reshared the original picture with the caption “fangirling”.

The Arsenal Women’s team were playing Lyon in the Women’s Champions League group stages at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners were beaten 1-0 thanks to an own goal from midfielder Frida Maanum late in the first half.

To make matters worse for the hosts, star player Vivianne Miedema was stretchered off with a knee injury.

The Dutch forward went down clutching her knee after falling awkwardly while stretching for the ball and was carried off in tears.

Despite the result, Arsenal have managed to qualify for the next round of the competition ahead of their final group game against Swiss side FC Zurich.

Speaking after the game, Arsenal boss Jonas Eidevall said: “I haven’t spoken to Vivianne or the doctor.

“I am very concerned of course, but we had to stay focused during the game. I’m sorry I don’t have any update at all on that situation.

“We are concerned but we are super professional. We don’t let anything take away our focus.”
