Arsenal fans on Twitter couldn’t believe it when Mikel Arteta was defending Hector Bellerin’s foul throws during his press conference on Wednesday.

A selection of the Arsenal fans cannot believe it has come to such a situation where they are talking about one of their players struggling to do the simple parts of the game.
