Arsenal fans were left frustrated after their team's title hopes took a hit with a surprising 2-0 defeat to West Ham. To make matters worse, former Manchester United star Gary Neville added insult to injury with a cheeky post on social media.
VAR controversy
The Hammers' first goal, scored by Tomas Soucek, was not without controversy. Camera angles couldn't confirm if the ball had gone out of play before Jarrod Bowen passed it to Soucek. However, the goal was allowed to stand as officials couldn't find a conclusive angle.
This decision brought back memories of Arsenal's loss to Newcastle in November, when they also suffered due to a similar situation. Referees were unable to prove the ball was off the pitch in the build-up to Anthony Gordon's goal.
Neville's cheeky post
Gary Neville has been stirring up Arsenal fans since his commentary on the Newcastle defeat. He attempted to recreate and prove on Sky Sports that Newcastle's goal should have stood. In his recent tweet, Neville posted a picture of himself standing by a ball on the line, further riling up Gunners supporters.

While some Arsenal fans criticized Neville, others found his post amusing. Neville later tweeted a positive note about Arsenal's front three, praising their combination play.
It seems Neville's taunting of Arsenal fans is far from over.
