Carabao Cup : Arsenal 5 Nottingham Forest 0 | Shkodran Mustafi sarcastically hits back at fan

'Sorry for keeping two clean sheets': Shkodran Mustafi sarcastically hits back at fan who begrudgingly points out Arsenal haven't conceded when he's been on the pitch this season

• A fan has begrudgingly pointed out Shkodran Mustafi's success this season 
• The German has made two starts in cup competitions and kept two clean sheets 
• Arsenal were keen to sell Mustafi this summer, but were unable to find a buyer

Shkodran Mustafi has sent a sarcastic apology to a fan on Twitter after his performances in defence for Arsenal so far this season.

The defender hasn't played in the Premier League yet, but has started in both the Europa League and the League Cup.

Arsenal didn't concede a goal in either game against Eintracht Frankfurt and Nottingham Forest, and one fan saw fit to point it out on Twitter.

Mustafi has started in the League Cup and Europa League, and kept a clean sheet in both

'I hate to say this but @MustafiOfficial has played two games and kept two clean sheet,' said the Twitter user, adding a 'thinking' emoji.

To white Mustafi replied: 'Sorry for keeping the two clean sheets,' adding a less than amused emoji of his own.

Mustafi was deemed surplus to requirements at Arsenal this summer, but the club were unable to find a buyer.

There was interest from Juventus on the final day, however the transfer window slammed shut before a deal was done. 

Mustafi joined Arsenal from Valencia for £35million in August 2016, but has fallen down the pecking order in recent times.

However, the German was given a start in the Gunners' 3-0 away win at Frankfurt, and then was in the line-up again for their 5-0 win against Forest in the League Cup.

After the Frankfurt game, Mustafi refused to rule out a potential transfer in the future, saying: 'My dad talked to the club. I am a player of Arsenal and have another two years of contract.

'I was never the one who starts a war when something does not work out.

'If something turns out, I'm open to taking the next step. If not, then I will continue my football.'

Zidane kini hadapi tekanan besar

MADRID - Ahli lembaga pengarah Real Madrid dilaporkan berang dengan tindakan ketua jurulatih, Zinedine Zidane memberi cuti rehat selama satu hari kepada skuad utama Los Blancos yang beraksi pada saingan Liga Juara-Juara ketika berdepan Paris Saint- Germain (PSG) Rabu lalu.

Mereka dikatakan kecewa dengan sikap tidak ambil kisah Zidane walaupun mereka dimalukan PSG pada perlawanan tersebut menerusi kekalahan 0-3.

Pada masa yang sama, bekas pemain Real itu juga didakwa tidak mengambil serius atau enggan bekerja dengan lebih keras bagi mengembalikan keyakinan peminat terhadap pasukan gergasi Sepanyol itu menje­lang aksi La Liga menentang Sevilla awal pagi esok.

Ketika ini Zidane berdepan tekanan yang besar untuk membentuk skuad Real yang digeruni seperti beberapa musim lalu menyebabkan jawatannya sebagai individu No. 1 Santiago Bernabeu seperti tidak menentu dan mereka perlu mencatatkan keputusan positif pada aksi menentang Sevilla.

Ramalan daripada media Sepanyol menyatakan bahawa juara Eropah 2018 itu akan dikecewakan oleh Sevilla yang ha­nya mampu mencatatkan rekod bolos sebanyak satu gol dalam lima perlawanan manakala Real pula mencatatkan bolos gol sebanyak sembilan kali.

Sekiranya Real tewas, pemain legenda Perancis itu mungkin akan dipecat dan posisinya akan digantikan dengan nama-nama besar yang lain termasuk bekas rakan sepasukan, Xabi Alonso yang sedang mengendalikan skuad Real Sociedad B.

Real berada di kedudukan ketiga La Liga selepas meraih lapan mata dari empat perlawanan. – Agensi.

Arsenal's defence shot themselves in the foot against Watford... no club worth its salt should throw away the win against bottom of the table

• Arsenal fell to a late draw against Watford at Vicarage Road after a comeback
• The Gunners led at half time after goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
• However a fight back from the Hornets meant the spoils were shared on Sunday

Your opponents are bottom of the table. They’re devoid of confidence and staring at yet another defeat. 

It’s half time and you’re leading 2-0. From there, no club worth its salt should throw away the win, especially not one that is chasing a top-four finish.

Yet Arsenal did. What a horrific second 45 minutes this was for Unai Emery, probably his most painful since he came to the club. His side gifted Watford a goal and a route back into the game at Vicarage Road. 

• Arsenal conceded comical goal after playing the ball out from the back 
• Bernd Leno played the ball short to Sokratis, but the defender's pass was weak  
• Gerard Deulofeu found Tom Cleverley, who managed to find the back of the net 

A second half capitulation meant that the Gunners let a two goal lead slip at Vicarage Road

Arsenal's botched goal kick helped lead Watford's second half comeback at Vicarage Road

Arsenal tried to pass it out from the back but served only to shoot themselves in the foot. There were precisely four seconds between Bernd Leno taking his goal-kick and Tom Cleverley scoring to make it 2-1 in the 53rd minute.

 Sokratis was the culprit who gave the ball away in between. ‘Pass it out’ may be the message from management but as a player, there are times on the pitch when you simply have to trust your gut. 

You have to use that instinct and realise that, sometimes, it is not worth the risk. Nicolas Otamendi learned that the hard way for Manchester City at Norwich and Sokratis learned it on Sunday, too. Arsenal capitulated after conceding that goal. 

Their passing game disintegrated. They didn’t know whether to lump it long or continue to try to play it short. Then, in the final 10 minutes, David Luiz lazily threw out a leg to give away a penalty. 

His list of mistakes is growing longer by the week. In the end, Arsenal were fortunate to escape with a point against Watford. There was a time when this club led the way defensively. I don’t know how many more years we will have to wait to say that again. Not for the first time, Arsenal were architects of their own downfall. 

A first half brace from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave the Gunners a comfortable lead
