'But you lost 2-0 behind open doors?': Fans ruthlessly mock Arsenal's behind-closed-doors win over Brentford, claiming club are 'clutching at straws' by posting about the friendly win after their nightmare start to the season

Arsenal have been mocked by their own supporters after the club posted about their 4-0 friendly win over Brentford during the international break.

The behind-closed-doors encounter was played at the club's London Colney training base in a bid to keep fitness levels up for those who were not called up by their respective countries.

Right back Cedric 'stole the show' late on against the Bees by netting a brace after second-half strikes from Gabriel and Alexandre Lacazette, giving the Gunners something to shout about on Thursday afternoon.
