Arsenal fans did not listen to the words of their manager Mikel Arteta on Tuesday night.

The Spaniard asked supporters not to boo former Gunners captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang during their Premier League clash against Chelsea on Tuesday.

However, the 34-year-old was met with a resoundingly negative reception from the home fans every time he touched the ball during a 3-1 win for the home side.

Speaking before the match, Arteta said of Aubameyang: “Let's say thank you, pay respect and gratitude for what he was.

“He was an incredible player for us, scored a lot of goals, he was our captain, and he deserves that."

Aubameyang struggled in the game, managing less than 15 touches of the ball and coming off at half time.
