Rwandan President and Arsenal fan Paul Kagame frustrated by defeat

Rwandan President and Arsenal fan Paul Kagame has vented his frustration at the club's shock defeat by a newly promoted club on the opening day of the English Premier League season.

Brentford, after a 74-year absence from top-tier football, beat Arsenal 2-0.

Mr Kagame often comments on the Gunners - a club sponsored by his government.

After Friday's away game, he tweeted: "We just must NOT excuse or Accept mediocrity. A team has to be built with purpose to win win win."
