Farah manages Arsenal legends

Olympic gold medallist Mo Farah acted as manager of an Arsenal Legends XI for a charity match to support World Refugee Day.

The 30-year-old, who is an Arsenal fan, coached the likes of Ian Wright, Tony Adams, Nigel Winturburn and Ray Parlour against a World Refugee XI at Barnet's Underhill Stadium.

The match, which was officiated by recently-retired Premier League referee Mark Halsey, ended in a 1-1 draw after the World Refugee XI, who were coached by Fabrice Muamba, took the lead.

All proceeds have gone towards The Refugee Council.
