Leeds United fans brilliantly heckle Sky Sports ahead of Arsenal FA Cup clash

Leeds United made their presence known at the Emirates Stadium ahead of their fourth-round FA Cup clash with Arsenal.

The Whites took on the Premier League side last night, dominating the first half before a Reiss Nelson goal after the break gave their hosts a 1-0 win.

That meant Arsenal will take on Bournemouth in round four, but Leeds' performance enhanced their reputation with a typically all-action performance that Whites fans are now used to seeing week-in, week-out.

With a sold-out away allocation of 8,000 Leeds fans taking over the capital, they left their mark early on as they forced Sky Sports to cut their reporting live from the Emirates Stadium ahead of kick-off.

A warning that this tweet and clip does contain bad language.

A group of around 20 Leeds fans could be heard chanting: "Sky TV is f***ing s***" live on Sky Sports News, forcing them to cut away from their live reporting on the show.

The action was then shown on BBC 1, with their pundits such as Ian Wright, Alan Shearer and Jermaine Beckford also praising Bielsa's side following the performance.
