Arsenal’s Tweet After France Defeated England In The World Cup Angers Fans

Aurélien Tchouaméni bagged the opener for France in the 17th minute before Kane drew England level shortly after the break from the penalty spot.

However, Olivier Giroud restored France’s lead in the 78th minute, with Kane missing a glorious chance to equalise for Gareth Southgate’s charges shortly after as the tie ended 2-1 in favour of Les Bleus.

And as has been the tradition among clubs around the world, Arsenal were quick to celebrate William Saliba after France progressed to the semis.

“Our Wilo. A World Cup semi-finalist,” Arsenal tweeted. This is despite the game featuring two other Gunners in the shape of Bukayo Saka and Aaron Ramsdale, who were turning out for England.

And Arsenal’s tweet did not go down well with a section of fans who quickly hit out at the club.

Below are some of te reactions from the tweet

Pathetic. You’re an English team. Don’t wanna be an Arsenal fan with this bollocks. Sort it out.

This is not the time for an English football club to even *think* about doing this. I am extremely disappointed.

Inappropriate timing. Especially considering the nature of a game in which an Arsenal player was fouled constantly with impunity.

Now I’m the biggest of Arsenal fans but honestly! Posting this seconds after the result? Come on guys that’s pretty poor and disrespectful. He’s not even playing!
