Arsenal fan in the Brentford end gets removed by stewards after giving it large to Man City fans

An Arsenal fan spotted in the Brentford end at the Etihad gets removed by stewards after giving it large to Man City fans.

“What the f****g hell is that” the Man City fans chanted after spotting the Arsenal fan during the Premier League fixture on Saturday afternoon.

The Gunners supporter was heard shouting “Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal” trying to wind up his side’s title rivals, but City fans soon waved him off after police and a safety team got involved.

The game itself saw Manchester City win 3-0 Brentford to reduce Arsenal’s lead to two points, with Mikel Arteta’s side playing West Ham on Sunday. Brentford meanwhile remain 8th in the table.

City went one up thanks to Jeremy Doku on 60 minutes, before Erling Haaland (75′) grabbed a second and Omar Marmoush (90+2′) added a third.

Man City head coach Pep Guardiola, speaking to Sky Sports: “Really tough opponent. His transition, set-pieces, throw ins, we suffered in the first minutes but after that we played a really good game. Especially left side in the first half, both sides in the second.

“Jeremy [Doku] is outstanding in many things. Second half we put more players in the box, first half we didn’t which is why we struggled. At the end we took a good result and keep going.”

On Doku: “Looks like a final product already, of course he can improve. Always had this incredible ability to dribble and to make action and connection, it’s outstanding. But now it’s winning games. I’m so incredibly pleased to have a guy that brings energy and that can score goals.”

On Arsenal: “We will see, that is not in our hands. We will do our job. We didn’t do it perfectly with Everton. We will do our job and wait.”

On players not giving up: “Everton was the real proof, 3-1 down and emotions. The second half we give away. It happened last season many times, now we’re more solid but we still give away. That’s football, it’s how you react. I’m pleased for the way we have done it.”

Brentford manager Keith Andrews speaking to BBC Match of the Day: “We are disappointed. We were quite brave in the way we approached the game. You could see from Manchester City’s urgency what’s at stake for them. We had key moments where we could have and should have done better.

“It was an unbelievable strike [from Jeremy Doku]. But I thought we reacted really well to going behind. We should have had a penalty. Key moment. But our players kept going and I have nothing but pride when I look at them.”

On the penalty incident involving Kevin Schade: “I looked at the second Schade incident and I have looked at it three or four times. And there’s no way Kevin will go down. The comment that was made was that there was not enough contact.

“But Kevin is one of the quickest players in the league and when he’s moving at such speed, it’s only going to take a little bit of contact. He’s got the goal gaping. For me, that’s a penalty.”

His message to the fans: “The message is pretty clear. We have got two huge games. The last home game against Crystal Palace is next week. And I have no doubt the Gtech will be rocking.”

Here’s the social media reaction as an Arsenal fan in the Brentford end gets removed by stewards after giving it large to Man City fans…

@SM66634659: Not sure anyone from City can call Arsenal fans strange, when you have bottle man in your ranks. Sitting down the front Everton away with a bottle in his pocket waiting to act up to the camera’s. Forced FC as well as Fraud FC.
