SportPesa Mocks Arsenal Players Amid Loss to Man City
Arsenal Sponsor Mocks Players During Manchester City Defeat
Arsenal sponsor SportPesa mocked January signings Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan during the team's 3-0 loss to Manchester City.
The Africa-based bookmakers, who have a partnership with Arsenal, posted tweets targeting Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan during the match. City took a 3-0 lead by the 33rd minute with goals from Bernardo Silva, David Silva, and Leroy Sane.
SportPesa tweeted a picture of Aubameyang and Mkhitaryan with a caption that read: '#YoPierre... we’ve made a massive mistake here pal.' The company also posted comments during the game, including one about Aubameyang missing a penalty.
Arsenal signed Aubameyang for a club-record £56 million from Borussia Dortmund and acquired Mkhitaryan from Manchester United in a swap deal with Alexis Sanchez. Since joining, Aubameyang scored on his debut but has not scored again, missing a penalty during the City match.
SportPesa's tweets during the game highlighted the struggles Arsenal faced against Manchester City, who had defeated them by the same scoreline just days earlier.
