Arsenal fans BOO Francis Coquelin substitution in north London derby
ARSENAL fans booed the arrival of Francis Coquelin as he was brought on as a substitute.
GETTY
With Arsenal leading 2-0 over Tottenham in the north London derby, manager Arsene Wenger decided to take off Alexandre Lacazette.
It meant the Lacazette had once again failed to play 90 minutes for Arsenal.
Coquelin came on in his place to provide extra protection in midfield and it was decision backed by Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville.
But the Arsenal supporters in the Emirates voiced their displeasure before some fans clapped Lacazette off.
Arsenal fans on social media were just as frustrated with many bemoaning Wenger's decision.
One fan said: Coquelin for Lacazette???? Really Wenger???
Another wrote: "Dunno why wenger would sub lacazette for coquelin when Xhaka is on a yellow card.. Wrong decision #ARSTOT."
Another supporter said: "Lacazette not getting 90 mins n being replaced by Coquelin is sooo backwards."
