Champions League: Arsenal Fans Slam Former Gunners Defender Sead Kolasinac for Failing to Eliminate Tottenham

• The Marseille vs Tottenham Hotspur Champions League clash ended in a 2-1 win for the Premier League giants
• Spurs needed to avoid defeat during their trip to France to avoid getting eliminated from the competition
• With the scores still 1-1, Sead Kolasinac was presented with a glorious chance to earn Marseille a winner
• However, the Bosnian fluffed the opportunity, much to the disappointment of Arsenal fans, who wanted their bitter rivals eliminated

Arsenal fans have savagely slammed former Gunners defender Sead Klplasinac for failing to knock Tottenham Hotspur out of the Champions League.

Kolasinac is among a host of former Arsenal stars currently plying their trade with French giants Marseille.

The Bosnian was part of the Marseille squad that took on Tottenham in their final Group D match on Tuesday night, November 1.

While a defeat for Spurs in the hotly-contested clash would have seen them eliminated from the competition, Antonio Conte's men did enough to see off the French giants.

Marseille opened the scoring through Chancel Mbemba Mangulu, who headed home the opener just before the break, with Clement Lenglet restoring parity shortly after the interval.

Ex-Arsenal defender Kolasinac had a great opportunity to put his side back in front with three minutes left on the clock, only for the Bosnian to fluff his lines in front of the goal as he headed wide.

Spurs went on to take the lead at stoppage time through Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, as the Premier League giants stormed to the knockouts.
