Fans online praised Burnley for their “s***house” social media jibe.
One said: “Trolling 101. Text book.”
Another said: “Burnley have gone full s***house after Mikel Arteta claimed the grass on their pitch was too long during their game over the weekend.”
One commented: “Well done @BurnleyOfficial.”
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has become renowned for petty excuses for why his side have failed to win games in the past.
But this time the laughs were at Arteta’s expense, as he said after Arsenal’s away draw: “The conditions were difficult.
“The grass was this long. They didn’t put water on it and that is difficult to play football.
“I didn’t water the grass yesterday at the training ground so I was expecting it but that doesn’t make it easier to play.
“We adapted really well in some moments and in some others it wasn’t the grass. What they do they do really well.”
