Arsenal star Hector Bellerin trolls Watford’s Troy Deeney after last-gasp Burnley winner
ARSENAL defender Hector Bellerin has taken a thinly veiled dig at Watford’s Troy Deeney after the Gunners beat Burnley 1-0.
Wenger after Burnley clash: It looked like a penalty
Arsenal looked set to leave Turf Moor with just a point after a frustrating afternoon.
But Aaron Ramsey was fouled by James Tarkowski in the area and referee Lee Mason awarded a penalty.
Alexis Sanchez then stepped up to coolly convert the penalty and hand Arsenal victory.
After the match, Bellerin took to Twitter to celebrate the win.
He tweeted: “Last minute winner? Some would say we have cojo***!!!”

The Spain international’s comment was a direct reference to Deeney’s claim that Arsenal lacked cojones after they were beaten by Watford last month.
Deeney said: “I’ve heard Wenger's already blaming (a penalty decision) as the reason why they lost.
“I’m not going to be the one to tell Mr Wenger about himself, but there's a reason why they lost and it wasn't because of one penalty.
"I'll have to watch what I say. It's (having) a bit of cojones, a bit of nuts."
