Piers Morgan reacted angrily to footage shared by Sky Sports prior to Leeds United’s loss to Arsenal on Saturday.
Arsenal were 4-0 winners at Elland Road as Karl Darlow scored an own goal after Martin Zubimendi had opened the scoring for the visitors.
Viktor Gyokeres and Gabriel Jesus were then on target in the second half against a below-par Leeds side.
Leeds fans were in fine voice against Arsenal, but they were unable to inspire their side to a positive result against the Premier League leaders.
That is despite Arsenal being without key man Bukayo Saka, who sustained an injury in the warm-up that forced him out of the starting line-up.

Piers Morgan reacts to Bukayo Saka injury news
Saka has been a key cog for leaders Arsenal this campaign and was set to start at Elland Road if not for the apparent calf problem.
Paul Merson shared his views on the incident on Sky Sports, as shared on X, which celebrity Arsenal fan Morgan replied to with three angry face emojis.
While it is not known how severe the injury to Saka was, it was enough to rule him out of this contest in West Yorkshire.
A setback that may have been for Mikel Arteta’s men just before kick-off, but it did not show as they were two goals ahead against Leeds before the midway point and saw out the win with ease.
