Arsenal fans have openly criticised Arteta since the start of the new season when they were humbled 2-0 against newly-promoted Brentford.

The London derby presented yet another opportunity for them to vent their anger towards the club as they booed the players at halftime and at the full-time whistle.

One supporter could be heard asking:
"Arteta, was that good enough? Please leave the club."
Another man said:
"Arteta, do yourself a favour. Mikel, do yourself a favour, please leave."

"It’s another defeat, the second one of the season which is really tough to take," he said.
"Chelsea deserved to win, I think they were the better side overall," he added.
The Gunners are now scheduled to take on Man City in their next Premier League fixture.
