Barcelona Femeni striker Asisat Oshoala has slammed some sections of Arsenal fans for complaining about the team's mentality after their draw against West Ham United.

Mikel Arteta's side recorded another disappointing 2-2 draw against the Hammers at the London Stadium on Sunday, April 16 leaving the title race open.

Two early goals inside the opening ten minutes by the Brazilian duo of Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli were cancelled by goals from Bowen and Benrahma.

It was the Gunners second consecutive draw in the PL after playing out 2-2 with Liverpool at Anfield a week earlier.

The results mean Manchester City are now 4 points adrift of Arsenal with a game in hand.

Disappointed by the turn of events, some Arsenal fans took to social media to troll Mikel Arteta's side for their so-called week mentality.

In response, the Super Falcons striker also aimed a dig at the Gooners for throwing their hands in the air even before their clash with Pep Guardiola's side.

“You Dey blame your team for not having a winning mentality but you as a fan don dey cry before even facing city. Arsenal fit win or even draw city but Una don already dey lose hope ???????? #EPL #ArsenalCity,” the reigning African Women's Player of the Year tweeted.

The PL league title holders will welcome the leaders to the Etihad Stadium on April 26 in what could be a potential title decider.
