‘Give him a statue now’: Arsenal fans in stitches as Bellerin trolls Deeney

Hector Bellerin, who was in the stands after being ruled out with an ankle injury, decided to troll Troy Deeney on Twitter following the striker’s penalty miss and Arsenal’s 3-0 win.

It seems the Arsenal players are feeling confident after stringing an impressive two wins together this week.

After Arsene Wenger’s side beat Watford 3-0 on Sunday, Bellerin, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury, retweeted the clip of Deeney claiming the right-back ‘couldn’t see’ a foul he committed against Watford last year because his hair got in the way.

A bit of a cheap dig, to be fair, which the Spaniard obviously didn’t take too kindly to.

Bellerin tweeted, “Looks like you couldn’t see today either” at Deeney post-match. You know, ’cause Deeney missed a penalty and everything.

Of course, Arsenal fans are loving the banter, seeing as we’re not really used to winning anymore and we’re all feeling a bit giddy.

Watford fans, however, are not best pleased. Especially given Jack Wilshere’s trolling before the game… they’ve had a tough day.

Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Watford tasted all the sweeter considering Deeney, who criticised the Gunners’ cajones when the Hornets beat them back in October, missed that penalty.

The 29-year-old kicked the ball weakly down the middle of the goal directly at Petr Cech, who hardly had to move.

The spot-kick save was Cech’s first since he signed for Arsenal in 2015 and his 200th clean sheet in the Premier League.
