Aubameyang and Lacazette appear to slam seats in frustration as Kieran Tierney misses chance for Arsenal against Dundalk
PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG and Alexandre Lacazette looked furious as Kieran Tierney blazed a shot over the bar during Arsenal’s 3-0 win against Dundalk.
The pair were spotted slamming seats and looking angry, apparently in response to the miss, despite the fact the Gunners were 3-0 up and cruising.
Eddie Nketiah, Joe Willock and Nicolas Pepe scored three goals in six minutes either side of half-time in the Europa League stroll.
Tierney then came on to replace Granit Xhaka in the 74th minute as Mikel Arteta looked to shore things up.
But soon after his introduction, the Scotsman found himself joining in with an Arsenal attack.

Reiss Nelson dribbled the ball into the box and rather than crossing himself, he laid it back for Tierney on the left corner of the penalty box.
Surprisingly, the former Celtic man opted to shoot instead of dinking it back into the box for his waiting team-mates.
But the defender in him shone through as he smashed it over the bar.
Cameras immediately panned to striking duo Aubameyang and Lacazette who appeared fuming with Tierney’s decision making – although some have suggested they were joking.

Lacazette looked bemused as Aubameyang twice slammed the chair in front of him and turned to his left with a look of disgust on his face.
Once the footage surfaced online, Gooners were quick to jump in on the comments.
One wrote: “Don’t know why they’re annoyed, it’s a Europa League game and we’re winning comfortably let the young guns have a run. We have United this weekend.”
Smokey replied: “It’s a winning mentality man it’s that simple.
“He’s hungry for more and doesn’t want us to sit back so can’t complain with our striker being passionate about us not scoring more.”
Fezile quipped: “Looks like someone put money on a 4-0 win.”
Meanwhile Big M said: “I think he was joking around with Lacazette and Pepe and doing what fans do at the game.”
Another also suggested they were kidding: “He’s joking about, calm down you lot.”
Arguably Tierney’s best highlight of the night was when he arrived at the Emirates wearing just a t-shirt despite the wintry conditions.
