Arsenal fans are blasting Ronald Araujo for his reckless tackle on Gabriel Jesus during their friendly match.
The Gunners bounced back from their defeat to Manchester United by beating Barcelona 5-3 on Thursday.
Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Leandro Trossard (x2) and Fabio Vieira, who scored a stunner, all got the score-sheet as the Premier League side secured a big win at the SoFi Stadium.
The victory, however, would have been marred if Gabriel Jesus had sustained a serious injury following the tackle made by Araujo.Luckily for Mikel Arteta and Arsenal fans alike, the Brazilian forward escaped a serious injury, though the incident left Arsenal supporters fuming at the Uruguayan defender.
Araujo steamed into the Brazilian forward and completely took out his opponent with a very clumsy, high tackle.Needless to say, Arsenal fans didn't like the 24-year-old's robust challenge on Jesus.Araujo somehow avoided a card from the match referee, with Jesus fortunately unharmed.
You can understand Arsenal fans' frustrations over the tackle considering the nature of the game. It was just a friendly match, but Araujo clearly didn't get the memo.
