A selection of Arsenal fans on Twitter produced a mixed reaction towards Bernd Leno’s howler in the recent Premier League clash against Everton.
The Gunners hosted the Toffees at the Emirates Stadium on Friday night, and it was a cagey encounter with a combined four shots on target.
The hosts looked best placed to break the deadlock in the match, but the Toffees opened the scoring against the run of play in the 76th minute.
Richarlison’s attempted cross was deflected into the back of the net by Leno off his right leg after he fumbled his attempt to grab the ball.
The Gunners were unable to find the equaliser over the remainder of the game, and it was a frustrating night where they were denied a penalty by VAR.
Leno’s own goal produced a mixed reaction among the club’s supporters, with a few of them emphasising that the German is still the right man in goal.
Twitter reactions:
Yh Leno, u had a good run….
