Fans have taken to social media to express their frustrations over Nicolas Jackson’s challenge over Takehiro Tomiyasu.
They felt Jackson ‘got away’ with ‘deliberately stamping’ on Tomiyasu during Arsenal’s Premier League clash with Chelsea on Tuesday night.
The 22-year-old Jackson tried to close down Tomiyasu after passing Conor Gallagher in the middle of the pitch, but ended up crashing into him.
