GUNNING FOR THEM

Arsenal fans chant ‘You’re not fit to wear the shirt’ at players while refusing to give Hector Bellerin ball before hurling abuse at team bus

Gunners right-back was one of a number of flops in shock 3-0 away defeat to Crystal Palace

ARSENAL fans chanted "You're not fit to wear the shirt" at players and refused to give Hector Bellerin the ball for a throw-in during their humiliation at Crystal Palace.

Alexis Sanchez was among four Gunners stars who walked over to supporters to apologise after the game, before the side were booed as they got on the team bus.

Bellerin was one of a number of flops in the shock 3-0 defeat.

And he felt the ire of supporters first-hand while attempting to get the ball back after it had gone out of play.

Irate fans not only withheld the ball but sang disparaging songs at the Spaniard - usually a fan favourite.

That was then spread to the rest of the Arsenal side as they were hammered in South London.

The flashpoint came in the second half at Selhurst Park - which was Arsenal's first league loss against the Eagles since 1994.

Goals from Andros Townsend, Yohan Cabaye and Luka Milivojevic gave boss Sam Allardyce a crucial three points in the quest for survival.

Another said: "Most of us fans have loved Wenger and have been more than patient, but enough is enough, it's time for a change."
