What Bolton supporters chanted to poke fun at Arsenal after heartbreaking Man City moment

Bolton Wanderers supporters poked fun at Arsenal fans during their Carabao Cup encounter. Thousands filled the away end at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday evening as the two clubs battled it out for a place in the fourth round of the competition.

The Gunners began in the ascendancy, with Declan Rice finding the bottom corner inside the opening quarter of an hour. Shortly before half-time, Ethan Nwaneri doubled Arsenal's lead after Raheem Sterling crafted an opening on the left wing.

The teenager later extended the North Londoners' lead, but Aaron Collins pulled one back for the League One outfit just minutes later. The 27-year-old forward offered the travelling fans a glimpse of hope, but Arsenal held their nerve with Sterling finding his side's fourth of the night.

While the Bolton players fought for a place in the next round of the Carabao Cup, their supporters took the opportunity to poke fun at the home faithful. At one stage, a section of the away end was heard chanting John Stones' name.

The Manchester City defender, who was born in Barnsley and has never played for the Greater Manchester outfit, netted a stoppage time equaliser against Arsenal at the weekend, denting the Gunners' title hopes. Speaking to reporters after the game, Stones aimed a cheeky dig at the Gunners.

"It was a difficult afternoon for both teams, how they stop the play, how they use the side of football that not many teams do," said the England international. "You can call it clever or dirty, whichever way you want to put it, but they break up the game which upsets the rhythm.

"They use it to their advantage and we dealt with it very well. They slow the game down, they get the keeper on the floor so they can get some information onto the pitch.

"We had to control our emotions during those tough times and I felt like we did. There were a lot of tough tackles, some silly decisions, but we did well. I wouldn't say they have mastered it, but they have done it for a few years now, so we knew to expect that."
