In an incident that has left locals both amused and baffled, Thomas Kiptanui Kemboi, known affectionately as Kapkeno, found himself in the emergency room after attempting to devour an entire tray of boiled eggs.

The peculiar wager arose during a heated clash between Manchester United and Arsenal, with Kapkeno bravely pledging to undertake the egg-centric challenge if his beloved team, Manchester United, were to suffer defeat.

The scene unfolded over the weekend at the Emirates Stadium, where Arsenal and Manchester United clashed in a highly anticipated match.

Kapkeno, a fervent Manchester United supporter, entered into a bet with his Arsenal-loving friends.

As fate would have it, Arsenal emerged triumphant in a 3-1 victory over their arch-rivals, triggering Kapkeno's gastronomic challenge.

With the resounding defeat of his beloved Red Devils, Kapkeno set about tackling the daunting task he had set for himself.

His Arsenal friends, revelling in their team's success, eagerly cheered him on as he methodically devoured egg after egg, pausing only to hydrate himself.

In a comical twist, it was the 15th egg that proved to be Kapkeno's undoing.

As he collapsed in an unexpected turn of events, his Arsenal companions initially assumed it was all part of the show, with laughter filling the room.

However, it soon became evident that Kapkeno had genuinely overestimated his digestive system's capabilities.

In a swift change of heart, his friends sprang into action and rushed him to the nearest medical facility, where doctors diagnosed him with a rather unusual consequence of his egg-eating challenge: constipation.

Kapkeno, with a hint of humour in his voice, recounted his ordeal, saying, "One minute I was energetic and ready to complete the challenge before me, and the next moment I was in the hospital with an IV drip on my hand. I was diagnosed with constipation and was injected with three IV fluids. I am grateful that I am now doing well."

The Arsenal vs. Manchester United match itself was an entertaining spectacle, further intensifying the age-old rivalry between the two football clubs. While Manchester United initially celebrated what they believed to be a second goal, VAR ruled it offside.

Arsenal ultimately broke Manchester United fans' hearts with a late goal by Declan Rice, followed by Gabriel Jesus sealing the victory.

The incident serves as a quirky reminder of the lengths some fans are willing to go to uphold their allegiance to their favourite teams, even if it means challenging their digestive limits.

In the end, Kapkeno's digestive system gamble landed him in the hospital, but his sense of humour remains intact, echoing the timeless rivalry between Arsenal and Manchester United that continues to captivate football enthusiasts worldwide.
