'£70m down the drain!' - Manchester United fans send Nicolas Pepe transfer message to Arsenal

Nicolas Pepe's rotten luck in front of goal for Arsenal continues.

The Gunners' club record signing has only found the net once following his £72m summer transfer from Lille and even that was from the penalty spot against Aston Villa last month.

And he had a great chance to net his second goal in Arsenal colours.

Starting a fine counter-attacking move from his own half, the Ivory Coast international was eventually picked out in the Sheffield United box by Sead Kolasinac.

A yard out, just the keeper to beat, it seemed Pepe had to score.

However, he didn't. Somehow Pepe failed to convert from close range and minutes later the Gunners found themselves one-nil down after failing to deal with a corner.

As expected, there's been a huge reaction to Pepe's miss on social media.

Most of which has come from rival supporters.

Take a look at what's been said on Twitter...
