Arsenal Star Slammed By Fans After Stalemate against PSG
Nov 24, 2016 at 12:02 PM
Arsenal fans have absolutely destroyed Alex Iwobi after the youngster’s own goal late in the second half helped Paris Saint-Germain come from behind to earn a 2-2 draw against the Gunners.
PSG striker Edinson Cavani drew the first blood in the game in the 18th minute when finished off a fine counter-attack. Arsenal, who were coming from a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Manchester United last week, were finding it difficult to play their usual passing game and should consider themselves lucky for restoring parity late in first half.Oliver Giroud, who had scored the equaliser against United, converted from the spot after Grzegorz Krychowiak fouled Alexis Sanchez to draw level. The home team soon took the lead when an Aaron Ramsey shot found the back of the net after rebounding onto the shins of Marco Verratti.
The Gunners were looking destined to bag all the three points and top the group only to see Iwobi deflecting an unmarked Lucas Moura’s header past goalkeeper David Ospina in the 77th minute. As a result of the draw, PSG are now sitting at top of the group due to a superior head-to-head record over the North London outfit and need a win against Ludogorets in their final game to hold on their position.
Meanwhile, the fans took to prisoners after Iwobi’s mistake and took to Twitter to slam the 20-year old.

Iwobi should've been substituted earlier but we're the Arsenal we don't do substitutions before the 68th minutes like all the other suckers

Iwobi just relegated himself to the bench like. That was primary school behaviour

Iwobi has been absolutely abysmal recently. How Wenger has left him on the pitch for 77 minutes is baffling 😡#Arsenal #AFCvPSG #afc #ARSPSG

Iwobi deserves some bench time, too caught up in his image , these young players make too much money
