Lacazette likes Arsenal fan's Instagram post calling for Emery to be sacked and Xhaka to 'f*** off'

Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette has ‘liked’ an Instagram post telling teammate Granit Xhaka to ‘f*** off’ and calling for manager Unai Emery to be sacked.

The Gunners threw away a two-goal lead at home to Crystal Palace on Sunday, and were denied a late winner by VAR as the Eagles earned a deserved 2-2 draw.

Xhaka sparked fury by reacting angrily to being booed off by large sections of the Emirates crowd when he was substituted midway through the second half.

The Arsenal skipper threw his arms in the air, cupped his ear and then appeared to swear at the home supporters before storming straight down the tunnel.

After the game, an Arsenal fan known as Troopz, who regularly appears on fan-run social media platform AFTV, wrote on Instagram: "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.”

Lacazette then liked the post.
