Arsenal forward Alex Iwobi posted on his official Twitter account after starting in Arsenal’s 1-0 win against Burnley on Sunday, but the angry reaction he got from the Gunners fans suggests they weren’t impressed with his performance.
Tough Game Away From Home But We Dug Deep Till The Final Whistle. Another 3 Points, Thanks For Your Support ?⚪ #AFC pic.twitter.com/fZklEI3pUR

The 21-year-old was making just his fifth start of the season in the Premier League with Mesut Ozil absent through injury, but he struggled to make an impression in the final third before being replaced by Jack Wilshere in the 67th minute.
Arsene Wenger’s men took all three points when Alexis Sanchez scored an injury-time penalty to move the north London outfit up to fourth in the table, and Iwobi was obviously happy that the team dug deep and picked up the three points.
Arsenal supporters were quick to react to Iwobi’s social media post, and while one said he was “seriously gutted” by his display, another said he was “disappointed”.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
