President of Rwanda and Arsenal fan, Paul Kagame was left frustrated and took to Twitter to vent following the Gunners shock 2-0 defeat to newcomers Brentford in the opening fixture of the 2021-22 Premier League season.

Goals from Sergi Canos and Christian Norgaard sealed a frustrating night for Arteta’s Arsenal as Brentford sealed a surprise win on their Premier League return following a 74-year absence, dating back to 1947.

The result left many fans stunned and disappointed, Kagame being one among many.
The Rwandan strongman in three separate tweets said, "What?? It’s football, it’s a loss of Arsenal at/to Brentford. Brentford deserved to win and they did. The game itself aside Arsenal and the fans don’t deserve to kind of get used to this….NO !!! I say this as one of the big fans of Arsenal. The change has taken to long to come!”

"It’s been a struggle of about decade(s) -ups&downs-more downs until this point. Can’t we have a plan that really works?? One part to look at is how we deal in the market- players we buy to execute the plan. The touch&go mentality does not bring change”.

"We just must NOT excuse or Accept mediocrity. A team has to be built with purpose to win win-win. So that when we lose….it was not to be expected! I am sure we all know on whose shoulders the heaviest burden rests. I hope they know too or even accept it!!! End”

Kagame an avid Arsenal fan whose government signed a £30m sponsorship deal with Arsenal in 2018 has used twitter to express his views on the happenings in the North London club.
