Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger reveals fan wrote to him to blame Alexandre Lacazette's yellow boots for marginal offside decision against Stoke

All eyes will be on Anfield on Sunday as Arsenal take on Liverpool, but one supporter will be particularly looking out for the colour of Alexandre Lacazette's boots.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that a fan personally wrote to him last week after the side's 1-0 defeat by Stoke City.

The supporter was aggrieved by the loss and the fact Arsenal had a potential equaliser by Lacazette ruled out for offside.

Replays showed the striker was offside by a whisker and the fan believes it could have been a different story if Lacazette had decided not to wear yellow boots.

'He was very unlucky to get the goal cancelled at Stoke,' said Wenger

'Incidentally a supporter wrote to me, why did he wear yellow boots? If he had black boots...'

Wenger, however, is not so convinced by the supporter's belief that a change in footwear could have led to a different result at Stoke.

'He was not stupid at all! I am not sure the linesman saw his boot at all,' he added.
