Alexandre Lacazette has ‘liked’ an Instagram post telling Unai Emery and Granit Xhaka to leave Arsenal.
The Gunners squandered a two-goal lead at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday in a game which saw captain Xhaka clash with his own fans.
Arsenal fans sarcastically cheered his second-half substitution and Xhaka, in response, threw his arms up in the air and cupped his ears as the boos grew louder.
The Switzerland international then mouthed ‘f**k off’ to his own fans before removing his shirt and storming down the tunnel.
Arsenal have endured a mixed start to the new season, leading fans to question whether the team have improved since Emery replaced legendary manager Arsene Wenger.
One supporter took to Instagram to vent his frustrations, writing: ‘I’m sorry, I’m done with this now. You can’t be 2-0 up at home to Palace and draw.
‘Emery I’ve backed you but bro, enough is enough. Xhaka can f*ck himself as well. Never wanna see him in an Arsenal top again!’
French striker Lacazette, who played the entire match against Palace, ‘liked’ the post on social media.
Reacting to Xhaka’s outburst, Emery said: ‘He was wrong. We are going to speak to him and decide with the club [his punishment].
‘We are here because we have supporters. We work for them and need to have respect for them when they are applauding us and criticising us.’
Despite letting a two-goal lead slip against Palace, midfielder Matteo Guendouzi insisted Arsenal do not have a ‘mentality issue’.
He said: ‘We really wanted to win the game so we attacked a lot towards the end to get the third goal.
‘We allowed spaces [for Palace on the break] but it’s because we really wanted to win. It’s not a mental issue.
‘We didn’t manage to hold our advantage. We knew they were a good team, with individual quality, and they played well for their goals.
‘Zaha did well to get a penalty. It’s down to us to work so we win these kinds of matches after taking the lead.’
