Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger said he was not surprised when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was booed by some of the club’s fans at the Emirates Stadium yesterday.
Arsenal hosted Liverpool in the premier league on Friday night, and it was an interesting tie that ended 3-3.
Alex was part of the Liverpool team that travelled to London for the crucial game, and he was given the chance to play against his former side for the first time since he joined Liverpool in the summer.
However, the 24-year-old was given an unpleasant welcome at the Emirates Stadium by Arsenal fans when he was introduced into the game in the second half of the duel.
And speaking after the game, his former manager Arsene Wenger said he wasn’t surprised with the reaction from their fans, but suggested it was only from a small quarter and shouldn’t be taken too seriously.
Philippe Coutinho scored the opener for the night before summer signing Mohamed Salah made it two for the Merseyside club.
But Arsenal scored three goals in quick succession before Roberto Firmino scored the equaliser.
Arsenal remain fifth on the premier league table, one point behind fourth-placed Liverpool. The North Londoners are expected to fight harder to earn a Champions League ticket for next season after they failed to secure a place in the European elite competition this term.
