Mathieu Flamini has sympathy for Arsenal supporters left angered by the issues at the club following defeat by Crystal Palace

Former Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini sympathises with Gunners fans left frustrated by the ongoing issues at the club.

The Frenchman came off the bench for Crystal Palace as the Eagles secured a 3-0 win over his old side on Monday night, inflicting a seventh defeat in 12 games on an Arsenal outfit looking bereft of confidence.

After falling behind to goals from Andros Townsend, Yohan Cabaye and a Luka Milivojevic penalty, scores of travelling fans turned on boss Arsene Wenger and the Arsenal players towards the end of the Selhurst Park clash.

Chants including 'Arsene Wenger, we want you to go', 'We want Wenger out' and 'You're not fit to wear the shirt' were clearly audible inside the ground, with Arsenal's players then subjected to verbal abuse as they headed for the team coach.
