Nacho Monreal's Reaction When Danny Welbeck Steps Up To Take The Penalty Is Priceless

Nacho Monreal's Reaction When Danny Welbeck Steps Up To Take The Penalty Is Priceless

He couldn't watch...

Danny Welbeck found himself on the scoresheet not once, but twice during Arsenal's Europa League win against AC Milan on Thursday night, but the England international's goal scoring heroics were cancelled out by some questionable diving.

In the first half of Arsenal's win against Milan, Welbeck 'collided' with Milan defender Ricardo Rodríguez in the penalty box.

The referee controversially gave the spot kick after the 27-year-old flung himself down like he was competing for gold in the 2020 Olympics.

Welbeck proceeded to slot away the penalty with ease, but one Arsenal teammate couldn't even bring himself to watch the spot kick as he looked down at the ground, head in hands.

That's right. Nacho Monreal was spotted clutching his head just seconds before the striker stepped up the spot. Does this indicate that he didn't have much faith in Welbeck's ability to convert?

Either way, it definitely got people talking on social media.

Arsenal eventually went on to win the game comfortably on aggregate, but this moment in particular was the biggest talking point throughout the game as Gennaro Gattuso paced on the touchline.

To be honest, we're quite surprised the Italian didn't lose his cool after Welbeck's dive and after the game, he defended the England international for his actions.

Thoughts on Welbeck's performance against AC Milan last night? Will he eventually come good under Arsene Wenger?
