‘We all have emotions’ – Bellerin offers Xhaka support after Arsenal captain tells fans to ‘f*ck off’

Arsenal defender Hector Bellerin has posted a message of support for team-mate Granit Xhaka after the captain told fans to 'f*ck off' during the Gunners’ 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace at the Emirates.

Unai Emery’s side raced into a 2-0 lead inside the opening 10 minutes after centre-backs Sokratis and David Luiz scored following corner kicks, but Arsenal allowed their opponents back into the contest.

VAR ruled that Calum Chambers had fouled Wilfried Zaha in the box and Luka Milivojevic duly converted the penalty, before Jordan Ayew restored parity with over half an hour left to play.
