Arsenal fans destroyed for 'embarrassing' Tottenham chant at North London derby

Rival fans have ripped into Arsenal supporters for their 'embarrassing' chant ahead of the North London derby.

The points were shared during a fiery 2-2 draw at the Emirates on Sunday in Ange Postecoglou's first ever game against the Gunners.

Bukayo Saka's shot, which took a big deflection off Cristian Romero, opened the scoring for Mikel Arteta's side, before Son Heung-min got Spurs level with a well-taken finish.

Saka then converted his spot-kick shortly after the restart and mimicked James Maddison's 'darts' celebration.

However, Maddison got his revenge less than a minute later, sliding in Son for his second of the afternoon after Jorginho was caught in possession.

As expected, there was plenty of back and forth between supporters, and a video of Arsenal fans blurting out a rendition of 'sit down, if you hate Tottenham' has since emerged on social media. You can watch the footage below.

Rival fans were quick to criticise the chant, labelling it "embarrassing" and cringey". While others likened it to primary school behaviour.

Replying to the video on Twitter, one user wrote: "What school is this?"

"The Emirates is just a magician and triangle sandwiches away from being a kids birthday party," another joked.

"Thought they were all going to hold a parachute together," a third added.

A fourth exclaimed: "It’s just so forced all the time," while another questioned: "Was this before or after arts and crafts?"

"Song time at the nursery", one more chimed in.

"I was doing that when I was like 5 embarrassing club," another fan wrote.

The draw means both Arsenal and Tottenham are level on 14 points in the Premier League table, four points adrift of first-placed Manchester City, with Liverpool and Brighton making up the gap in between.
