Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to react after seeing a five-second clip of Ezgjan Alioski touching Bukayo Saka’s head in Sunday’s 4-2 win over Leeds.
The moment – which occurred in the 21st minute – happened just after the Macedonia international fouled the England international.
It was perhaps just a way of Alioski apologising to the Arsenal No.7.
However, some supporters below think the Leeds No.10 was just trying to wind Saka up and push his buttons.
That school of thoughts potentially stems from the 29-year-old’s behaviour in the reverse fixture at Elland Road.
Alioski was the recipient of a headbutt from Nicolas Pepe in Yorkshire back in November, which led to the Ivorian being sent off.
The two were seen shoving and pushing each other off the ball, before the ex-Lille forward moved his head towards Alioski.
That is potentially why the Arsenal fans below believe the Macedonian was acting with provocation, rather than with sincereness.
If he was acting sinisterly, it was Saka who had the last laugh.
The 19-year-old won his side a penalty, and gave Alioski a torrid time before he was substituted in the 53rd minute by Marcelo Bielsa.
