Arsenal and Manchester City took their rivalry to social media, with the latter trolling the other over a hilarious error.

The Gunners were forced to delete a post they made on X, formerly Twitter, with Manchester City sharing a similar post in an apparent dig at the Gunners.

Arsenal shared a statistic about their winger Bukayo Saka but took the post down minutes after realizing the stat was inaccurate.

The post highlighted Saka’s 16 goals and nine assists in the Premier League this season, with claims the England international was the only player to register a goal or assist against every Premier League side he has faced.

While Saka has been in impressive form for the Gunners in the 2023/2024 campaign, he was not the first or only player to score or assist against all Premier League opponents he faced.

Manchester City ace Erling Haaland has already achieved this feat, while Harry Kane, now at Bayern Munich, also holds a similar record from his time at Tottenham.

Manchester City trolls Arsenal

After realizing the mistake, The Arsenal admin instantly took down the post, but hawk-eyed fans had already grabbed screenshots.

Manchester City couldn’t resist digging at their Premier League rivals, as they shared a post of their own, highlighting Haaland alongside badges of all 22 Premier League teams he has faced and scored against.

Bukayo Saka’s impressive form

Despite Arsenal’s error in judgement in sharing the post about Saka, there is no denying Saka’s importance to the Gunners.

The winger was his team’s top scorer last season, with 20 goals across all competitions, according to Tranfermarkt.

He has gone from strength to strength in recent years, gradually increasing his goal tally for his club.

In the last five seasons, his league goal tally for Arsenal has gone from one, five, eleven, 14 and 16 in the 2023/2024 campaign.

Arsenal slammed for dig at Man United

Elsewhere, Sports Brief reported on Arsenal’s failed attempt to troll Manchester United.

Arsenal shared an interesting post shortly after the Red Devils silenced rivals Manchester City at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, May 25, to end their disappointing campaign in style.

In the post, the Gunners boasted that they remain the team that has won the FA Cup the most times.
