Matt Le Tissier has taken to Twitter to give his reaction to the controversial penalty decision against Arsenal today.

Arsenal played out a 1-1 draw with Fulham at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League this afternoon.

Josh Maja scored the first goal of the match in the 59th minute when he found the back of the net from the penalty spot.

It was a controversial penalty decision. Arsenal defender Gabriel was adjudged to have committed a foul on Mario Lemina despite withdrawing his leg at the last moment.

Eddie Nketiah scored a late goal for the Gunners to salvage a point from the London derby.

Southampton legend Le Tissier was far from impressed by the penalty decision, as shown below.

The result this afternoon does not really help either Arsenal or Fulham. 

The Gunners are now ninth in the Premier League table, as many as nine points behind fourth-placed and London rivals West Ham United.

As for Fulham, the Cottagers are third from bottom with 27 points from 33 matches, six points behind 17th-placed Burnley, who have two games in hand.
