Some Arsenal fans on Twitter are having fun at the expense of Leeds United left-back Ezgjan Alioski.
Alioski was in action for Leeds in their Premier League game against Arsenal away from home at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday evening.
The 29-year-old lined up at left-back and had a torrid time against Bukayo Saka, who was playing on his side and was brilliant for the Gunners.
The England international winger was a constant problem for the North Macedonia international, as Arsenal won the match 4-2.
Leeds head coach Marcelo Bielsa eventually took off Alioski, who had to walk past Arsenal winger Nicolas Pepe on the sidelines.
Pepe was warming up at the time, with Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta deciding not to include the Ivory Coast international winger in the starting lineup.
In the build-up to Sunday’s game, Leeds striker Patrick Bamford shared comments from Alioski on Pepe that Arsenal fans are now reminding the left-back.
Bamford said on the Official Leeds United Podcast: “Do you know what? He said in the changing room, ‘I can’t wait for Sunday’. I was like ‘Why?’. He said, ‘Because I’m playing against my mate Pepe again’.”
Both sets of fans will also remember the clash between Pepe and Alioski when Leeds and Arsenal met in the Premier League earlier this season.
Some Arsenal fans enjoyed the moment when Alioski had to walk past Pepe after having a bad time against Saka.
