Arsenal: Kevin De Bruyne trolls angry fans who pelted him with bottles after Arteta shove

De Bruyne was on top form once again at the Emirates as he produced a goal and an assist as City took a potentially decisive step in the Premier League title race. The 31-year-old appeared to be particularly pumped up for the game and was involved in a short altercation with Arteta early in the second half.

It was not the only notable off-the-ball incident De Bruyne was involved in either. The midfielder had plastic cups and bottles thrown at him from the stands following his 87th minute substitution with the match won. Now, the Citizens vice-captain has offered a brilliant response to those who had been responsible.

De Bruyne posted two pictures on his Instagram story, the first of which carried the caption: “beer anyone”. The following picture showed a plastic cup coming down from the stands with the Belgian writing “cheers” in response.

Despite their coming together Arteta was one of the first to condemn the objects being thrown at De Bruyne after the match. When asked in his press conference if they are scenes he wanted to see the 40-year-old said: “Certainly not. I haven’t seen it, but certainly not.”

Arsenal have now taken just one point from their last three matches and Arteta will be keen to get back to winning ways when they take on Aston Villa in the early kick-off this weekend. City will face a trip to Nottingham Forest as they look to maintain their new-found advantage in the Premier League title race.
