Former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong expressed his frustration as Everton led the Gunners 1-0 in Sunday’s Premier League clash.
Frimpong, who came through the north Londoners’ academy before making 16 first-team appearances, remains a loyal supporter of the club he joined aged nine.

Frimpong expressed his frustrations at half-time of Sunday’s match, and he is sure to have been just as annoyed when the final whistle went as Everton held on to secure a 1-0 win that meant Arsenal failed to take advantage in the battle for a top four finish.
