Arsenal skipper Laurent Koscielny has apparently took a dig at Eric Dier and Tottenham after claiming the bragging rights in the last week’s North London Derby.
Laurent Koscielny was in the stands for the Derby and was the man who led the final speech in the dressing room before the game.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang gave Arsenal the lead in the first ten minutes, but the Gunners saw themselves trailing by 1-2 at the stroke of the half time. Eric Dier was the man who scored their second goal, but the English man attempted to wind up Arsenal supporters in the crowd which led to a brawl on the sideline.
Eric Dier initiated the brawl at Emirates Stadium
Laurent Koscielny apparently took dig at Eric Dier and Tottenham in Arsenal’s Match day programme against Huddersfield Town, reassuring Arsenal fans that no opposition would come at Emirates and bully the Gunners.
“I was watching from the stands and I was calm and relaxed, convinced we would have too much for Tottenham. And we did,” he wrote.
“On the pitch, we didn’t panic either.
“You could tell the boys were sure of their ability and that they could still win it.
“We played with intensity, with guts, with determination and a lot of belief.
“We showed how strong mentally we are as well – You don’t come to our home and tell us what to do.
“The Emirates is our home and we rule there.
“We showed them how much we wanted to win.”
Laurent Koscielny was named in the squad for the first time in seven months in Arsenal’s 1-0 win against Huddersfield, though he didn’t took any part in game – he is expected to lead the line against Qarabag in the mid week followed by Southampton at the weekend.
