Footballers across the country must dream of getting revenge on their Twitter trolls - now Arsenal players have done just that.

Alexandre Lacazette has not endured the best of seasons since arriving at the Gunners last summer.

And after one badly missed chance against Chelsea last year, he was the subject of several jibes on social media.

One user, Aaron, tweeted: "@LacazetteAlex was only two yards out! I could have scored that blindfolded!"

And Ben's read: "I could have scored that with my eyes closed @LacazetteAlex!"

When the French striker heard about their claims, he enlisted the help of bookmaker Betfair and teammates Olivier Giroud and Petr Cech and invited Aaron and Ben down to Arsenal’s training ground to put their money where their mouth is.

Needless to say our tweeters regretted having shared their thoughts with the world finding their claim a lot harder than they thought it would be.

Aaron said the experience will make him “think before I tweet” in future, while Ben admitted: “I think I might close my Twitter account down.”

Giroud agreed and advised the fans: “Next time, you will think before tweeting.”
