It is known that collinear antiferromagnets cannot host a spin split band structure and therefore not show any anomalous Hall effect. Following the recent theory development [1], we experimentally show that this paradigm needs to be revised. We theoretically identify and experimentally confirm the symmetry components of the longitudinal and transversal anisotropic magnetoresistance in thin films of the compensated collinear antiferromagnet MnTe. We experimentally find a hysteretic signal odd in magnetic field in the transversal magnetoresistance, i.e. spontaneous anomalous Hall effect [2]. This effect can be rationalized considering nonmagnetic atoms at non-centrosymmetric lattice sites which break additional symmetries and cause a spin splitting in certain parts of the Brillouin zone.
