Manchester United winger Amad Diallo has rattled a few feathers among Arsenal faithful following their dramatic 3-2 victory over the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium last Sunday.
Arsenal took the lead through an own goal by Lisandro Martinez, before Bryan Mbeumo capitalised on a Martin Zubimendi mistake to equalise for the Red Devils.
United then went 2-1 up through a stunning Patrick Dorgu strike, before Arsenal restored parity through Mikel Merino. The Gunners were on course to salvage a point, before Matheus Cunha struck home from 30 yards to give Michael Carrick’s men an unlikely victory.
Before the game even began, an Arsenal fan Jay (@cagigao_), posted, “Arsenal are winning 4-0, they just sent me the script.”
Following their win, Diallo hit back at the Arsenal fan. He quote-tweeted Jay with a simple, crushing two-word response, "Enjoy KID".
The disgruntled fan wasted no time in responding to the Ivory Coast man, saying,"Buck me in ends g" and "don't tweet me ever again."
Moments later, Diallo instantly had the last word, appearing to mock Arsenal’s seeming tendency to score from set-piece situations:
"Your only hope is corner, be humble KID," Amad replied, mocking Mikel Arteta’s go-to tactic against teams that sit back.

Amad’s comment was a pointed critique of Arsenal’s current tactical identity. Arsenal’s equalizer in the 84th minute came from a Mikel Merino scramble following a corner.
The Gunners had struggled to find a way through United’s disciplined structure from open play in the second half.
Although a light-hearted moment of banter, former Premier League manager Tim Shewrood was left unimpressed by the 23-year-old's social media activity.
Speaking after the game, Sherwood suggested that Michael Carrick should be "clamping down" on the winger.
"If I was Michael Carrick, I'd be saying to Amad, 'What are you doing getting involved?'" Sherwood fumed.
"Keep quiet yourself, keep humble instead. You have had a disastrous period—not personally, but the team. You are at a great Man United club, not team. Just keep your mouth shut."
Meanwhile, Man United fans have reason to be excited following their fantastic start to life under the stewardship of Carrick. United have now beaten Man City 2-0 and Arsenal 3-2, which puts them in fourth place with 15 league games to go.
They will be hoping they can maintain that momentum when they take on Fulham in their next Premier League clash.
