Arsenal drew 2-2 against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Sunday afternoon, and many fans have taken to Twitter to destroy centre-back Shkodran Mustafi for his display.

Palace took a deserved lead as Luka Milivojevic scored from the spot at the end of the first half following a reckless Mustafi challenge, but goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Granit Xhaka then took the Gunners ahead.

Milivojevic was once again called to the spot after Wilfried Zaha went over after a challenge from Xhaka, with the Serbian converting coolly to secure a point for the Eagles.

Arsenal fans have now been reacting to the result on Twitter, and many have picked out Mustafi for criticism after another dodgy display from the Germany international.

COMMENTARY

These Arsenal fans are far from impressed by Mustafi’s latest display against Palace on Sunday, and it is not hard to see why. The Germany international was all over the place at the back once again for the Gunners, and his tackle for the penalty was simply inexplicable. Kouyate had his back to goal and was clearly going to get to the ball first and yet Mustafi decided to dive in and take him out. On first glance it looked absolutely stonewall, and the replays merely confirmed it. Mustafi himself knew that it was a penalty too, with no complaints coming from the German enforcer. Poor performances have become the norm for the £35million defender this season, and that is a worrying trend which must be addressed soon by Unai Emery. Defence has been Arsenal’s biggest problem for years, and if that is not sorted, then progress will unfortunately be slow for the Gunners as they look to become a top team again.
