Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was seemingly overheard criticising Ben White during the visit to Chelsea today.
The Gunners reiterated their Premier League title credentials with a massive 1-0 victory away at Stamford Bridge.
A second-half winner from Gabriel Magalhaes was enough to take Arsenal back above Manchester City at the summit of the table.
It was a hard-fought, brilliant victory from a side that simply keep answering any question that gets asked of them this season.
The Arsenal boss was an animated figure throughout and on one occasion during the second half, seemingly was ready to haul off the former Brighton & Hove Albion defender for Cedric Soares.
Here’s what Sky Sports News reporter Danyal Khan – who was at the game – said: [06/11, 1:23]: “We’ve just heard Mikel Arteta shout at his bench ‘What is Ben (White) doing?’ The bench then signalled to Cedric Soares to start warming up.”
It came after White galloped forward but then cheaply lost possession, resulting in a Blues’ attack which, fortunately for the £50 million Englishman, didn’t amount to anything.
Despite that moment, it was an excellent performance from White for the most part and he did everything that was asked of him.
For a central defender playing at right-back, his versatility has proven massive for an Arsenal side that continues marching on this season.
