'GUNNERS HAVE COJO'

Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin takes swipe at Watford rival Troy Deeney after late Burnley win

Troy Deeney claimed back in October that Arsenal lacked the "cojones" and today he got a cheeky response from Hector Bellin

HECTOR BELLERIN has taken a swipe at Watford's Troy Deeney on Twitter after Arsenal beat Burnley 1-0 on Sunday.

The Gunners turned up last minute to the game and then scored a last minute penalty.

All of which has left Sean Dyche fuming and Hector Bellerin making a cheeky dig on social media.

Bellerin posted the cryptic tweet which said: "Last minute winner? Some would say we have cojo***!!!

The comment is to be a reference to Deeney's quotes after Watford scored in injury time to beat the Gunners 2-1 back in October.

Deeney claimed after the game that Arsenal lacked the "cojones" for the top-four fight: "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."

The Gunners were in desperate need of a goal this afternoon so that they could climb into the top four of the Premier League table.

An injury-time penalty scored by Alexis Sanchez gave them just the win they needed.

We are guessing Hector Bellerin has had this tweet saved in drafts for a while and was just waiting for that last minute injury winner with an picture to match.
