Fans poke fun at Roberto De Zerbi’s troubled reaction to West Ham’s 2-0 win over Arsenal… but Brighton do face the Hammers next!

Roberto De Zerbi looked both shocked and concerned when he heard about West Ham's 2-0 win against Arsenal.

David Moyes' side have now recorded back-to-back wins against both Manchester United and the Gunners, while the Hammers now face Brighton on Tuesday evening.

As De Zerbi's men recorded a big 4-2 victory against Tottenham on Thursday, with Pervis Estupinan scoring a sensational goal from outside the penalty area, the Brighton boss appeared perturbed when he heard about the result at the Emirates during his post-match press conference . .

A voice off camera can be heard whispering to the Italian: '2-0 to West Ham' as he addressed the media.

It seems as if De Zerbi is overheard when he says '2-0?' looks concerned, before the person adds: 'West Ham.'

The Brighton boss showed a concerned look and gritted his teeth before addressing reporters and continuing with his press conference.

But fans have ridiculed the manager on social media, writing on X (formerly Twitter): 'He remembered having Saliba in his FPL'.

Tomas Soucek opened the scoring for West Ham after 13 minutes before Konstantinos Mavropanos headed in to double the lead 10 minutes after half-time.

Despite the score, Arsenal had 74 percent possession, 30 attempts on goal and eight shots on target. David Moyes' side, on the other hand, had six attempts but were more clinical and had three of those shots on target.

Brighton similarly suffered a similar defeat to West Ham in August, with the Seagulls having 78 percent possession, 26 attempts on goal and 10 shots on target, but were ultimately defeated 3–1 by the Irons, who had made just 12 attempts in comparison .

Another fan said of De Zerbi: 'They had a similar match with West Ham earlier this season. The Zerbi knows!'

One wrote: 'He understands because his team also lost to West Ham at home.'

“He plays them next, and honestly he's just worried that they're in good shape,” another added.

Brighton, meanwhile, moved ahead of Newcastle in the Premier League on Thursday evening after beating Tottenham.

And after the match, De Zerbi praised his team with the words 'to' BBC Match of the Day: 'We played fantastic football for 80 minutes and then we were unlucky with the first goal we conceded. After that we suffered from Tottenham's quality.

'Tottenham is the team that played the best football in the first half of the season. We must accept this response.

'We have to accept that we will concede a goal in this way. If we can win 4-0 and concede a goal that way, it's because we showed great character, courage and quality for 80 minutes, and sometimes you have to accept these mistakes.

'I think this was the best performance this season. Not just for Joao Pedro and Billy Gimour, I speak for Brighton in general.

'I am really lucky to be able to coach this team with these players. I'm very happy with the passion they have, they have everything.'
