Arsenal captain, Mesut Ozil, threw his jacket in the direction of Unai Emery eight minutes after being substituted as a touchline melee broke out during the side’s loss at Everton on Sunday afternoon.
Ozil was given the captain’s armband for Arsenal’s trip to Goodison Park but was frustrated by the Toffees on a torrid afternoon for Emery’s men.
The German was substituted in the 74th minute after a poor performance, and had a face like thunder upon taking his seat on the bench.
Eight minutes after coming off, there was a scrimmage on the touchline when Mustafi clattered into Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
The foul caused both sets of coaching staff to come together and, amid it all, Ozil bizarrely hurled his coat towards the unfolding coming together, with Emery in the line of fire.
In a fit of rage, the 30-year-old stood up and simply hurled his jacket towards both managers, before sitting down.
It did not hit either coach, with both Emery and Silva seemingly oblivious to the outburst.
Ozil sat down immediately afterwards but was caught by the TV cameras, looked on at the game helplessly as Emery fittingly came into the shot in front of him.
The playmaker’s afternoon did not get any better as the Gunners failed to mount a comeback, missing an opportunity to grab hold of a top-four spot.
Emery was not asked about the incident after the game and instead reflected on the performance, saying: “In the second half we needed a bit more from the game so I changed some things and we were better offensively.”
