Shaun Wright-Phillips trolls dad Ian in savage tweet after Man City take two-goal lead against Arsenal

FORMER Manchester City star Shaun Wright-Phillips brutally mocked his dad Ian Wright during Arsenal’s 4-1 defeat at the Etihad on Wednesday evening.

Kevin de Bruyne and John Stones handed Pep Guardiola‘s men a comfortable 2-0 lead at half-time in the Premier League title six-pointer.

And ex-Man City winger Wright-Phillips, 41, felt confident enough at the break to tweet his dad Ian – an Arsenal legend and die-hard fan.

Speaking on social media, he said: “Hi @IanWright0 how’s things? Just checking in…

“Hope you’re ok dad .”

In response, a devastated Wright simply replied with a tearful emoji.

And things went from bad to worse for the Gunners shortly into the second half.

De Bruyne sealed all three points for the hosts with a classy finish.

Rob Holding pulled one back for the visitors late on.

But Erling Haaland then restored City’s three-goal advantage for his 49th goal of the season.

The 4-1 win moves Man City to within two points of Arsenal with two games in hand.

And it may well end up being the decisive blow in the title race come the end of the season.

City also maintained their push for the Treble as they prepare for a Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid and FA Cup final against Manchester United.
