FANS at the Hawthorns enjoyed some good banter on Wednesday evening as they laughed at Arsenal’s recent misfortune.
Both sets of supporters mocked Mikel Arteta’s side after Gunners skipper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the opener.
Arsenal fans celebrated the striker’s 17th-minute opener by chanting: “We’re winning away, how s**t must you be?”
But within seconds, the home fans responded by singing: “We’re playing our kids, how s**t must you be.”
The strike eased the pressure on under-fire Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, temporarily at least.
His side have lost their first two games of the season and have been blasted for their poor performances against Brentford and Chelsea.
They haven’t won away since April 15, when they beat Slavia Prague 4-0 in the Europa Legaue.
So it was no wonder that the travelling Gooners took the chance to celebrate winning away.
Arteta had put a very strong side out, including new boys Martin Odegaard and Aaron Ramsdale.
So West Brom could be excused for belittling their achievement of going one up.
Aubameyang made it two just before half time, before Pepe made it 3-0 to really give the away end a much-needed cause for celebration.
Chants of ‘3-0 on your big day out’ could then be heard from the joyous North Londoners in the crowd.
Their next trip is to the Etihad on Saturday to take on Manchester City.
And Arteta will be hoping to give them plenty more to celebrate then too.
