Boss Arsene Wenger started him in the Carabao Cup semi-final despite admitting his star could be fined.

And when Iwobi, 21, shanked a long-range effort, the visiting supporters were quick to make light of the situation.

Chants of "should have stayed at the party" rang out from the away end in possibly the moment of the match.

After claiming he was determined to win the trophy, Wenger - who watched from the press box - sent out a weakened team.

But Chelsea's wasteful finishing ensured the teams go the the Emirates level.

On Monday The Sun revealed Iwobi was at a wild drug-fuelled house party — the day before flopping in the Gunners’ shock FA Cup exit.

A source said: “Maybe his partying had something to do with it. He shouldn’t be up that late.”
